My dad was born and brought up in Huncoat but before your time. I used to laugh at some of the local characters names he talked about. ' Owd up a tree.' and 'Owd oh mi eye.'
He went to school with Harry and Joe Chadwick who I am sure some of you remember as having a butchers in the market hall. I have happy memories of my Granny who lived in Walter street and running out on a Sunday evening with a pint pot, when Albert blew his whistle , for some of the best ice cream in the world.
