My auntie lived on Square road in Walsden...I went every Friday after school and stayed until Sunday teatime...not my choice, I went to help her out...do shopping, cleaning etc.......didn't like Tod, and wasn't overfond of Walsden either.

I did not over look the link Margaret, in fact I mentioned Weatherspoons opening the White Hart in Todmorden a few post back.
What I was meaning is what has me scoring the cricket match got to do with Weathespoons.
I remember Square road well enough Margaret, I delivered papers there to the ones who could afford one.
Even in the late 50's people on Square road had to cross the road to use their lavatory or use a bucket and tip the waste, along with the ash from the fire, into the river which ran under the back window.
This was long before Weathespoon was a twinkle in some ones eye, back on topic.
