Thanks Retlaw, we used to play on it as young kids - an age when it was safe for pre-teens to wander the hills and moors

Long before then Rindi, don't think there was a car in the whole street, even when we moved to Lonsdale St there was only one I remember in the whole street - an MG Magnette at the confectioners.

In the good old days Barrie, you hardly saw a car in the street, never mind one carked in it, even the milkman used a horse and cart
