[Margaret Pilkington]

I lived on Riley's Hill until 1966 when I got married and moved to Clayton.
I remember all those names and places that you mentioned......also Mrs Almonds cake shop...Jones's Chip shop....you could buy vinegar there by the pint if you took your own bottle.......I used to take the bottle and on the way home used to drink some of it and fill ithe bottle from a water trough on Marsden Street back.
I can't remember a midwife living on Riley's Hill.......I don't know what era we are talking about.... but if it was late forties - early fifties i am sure you would know some of my brothers......I had enough of them.
The only Duckworths that I can remember were Frank and Edna Duckworth that had the 'bottom' shop....bottom because it was at the bottom of Riley's Hill. Thanks for stirring my old grey cells Tal.
