[West Ender]

I remember the blue wall very well as I passed it every day going home from school, often walking. I was always told it was a Dolly Blue works. Next to that wall, on the West End side, was a house, right on the side of the canal. It had a central front door with a bay window on either side but the back of the building was part of the works. In front of the house was a triangular garden, it followed the curve of the canal and the road. The house and garden were derelict right back when I was a child in the 40s.
