jambutty, The public baths at the top of St James Street just below the Scaitcliffe Colliery. Just across the road from the baths was a side street and up a ginnel on the left was a ‘shop’ where you could buy a penny or twopenny bag of Smiths crisps. Actually they were the broken bits but the bag was proper full to bursting. You certainly got your money’s worth. You had to watch out for the blue one though. It was very, very salty.

That was called O'Beech's jambutty they used to sell sarsaparilla and ginger beer in pot jugs like Stantons did, the greasy crisp broken bits would be well out of date but they were great after a good swim.
