Re: what smells do you remember

In the late 19 fourties we lived top of devonshire street and along with westwood street we had to suffer a awful smell from the metcalfes fertilzer plant I am told they are now based in oswaldtwisle hope the stink is not as bad as ours was

They sell it in Sainsbury's still - which reminds me of the smell of smoke from coal fires as walking up from town in the winter. Coal fires are banned these days, aren't they?:dflam:

Then there's the smell of leather at the cloggers .

That Continental bakers that used to be near the bottom of Fielding Lane used to give off that lovely smell of freshly baked bread .

Now that you mention it, I do remember the smell of the cloggers ... used to get my clogs at the shop on Barnes St.

And the River Stink:eek:

Not too many of us left that wore clogs ... we are like the USMC: "The Few and the Proud.":alright:
