The redness in shales is usually associated with iron oxides.

Thanks Retlaw, we used to play on it as young kids - an age when it was safe for pre-teens to wander the hills and moors:)

Unless you saw a car approaching, with a sun visor, which read 'Pete' and 'Myra'.

Long before then Rindi, don't think there was a car in the whole street, even when we moved to Lonsdale St there was only one I remember in the whole street - an MG Magnette at the confectioners.

Afternoon naps, never a good idea, though I do think there are any more dangers today than in the past.

In the good old days Barrie, you hardly saw a car in the street, never mind one carked in it, even the milkman used a horse and cart:D

Definitions of carking on the Web:
[Archaic] worrying or being worried or anxious

:confused: maybe being a car was stressful :confused:
