Bloody hell fireman, I remember sitting on the kerb at the end of Canal Street on hot days sticking lollie pop sticks in the tar and smelling the stuff, lovely. I don’t recall being hung over the boiler, but I remember the guys working on the lorry letting us swig sarsaparilla and lemonade out of stoneware jugs. I went over to Church recently and was able to see the cobbles through the decaying road surface on the end of Canal Street, the very ones we picked at 30 odd years ago. From that I assume that HBC left the cobbles in place and just capped the streets where a new surface?

Out of interest, I drove down the back alley behind my old house on Church Street, other than new gates and the bin holes being filled in, it was just the same as it was when I left for Fern Gore in the mid 1960s the cobbled surface was just as I last saw it. I suppose it hasn’t really changed in over a hundred and odd years.

Mums used to hold a baby over the tar boiler if it had croup...... it was supposed to cure it.
As for hot summers and playing with gas tar.......one of my brothers once did that and got it stuck in his hair and on his school pants......Mother was not best pleased.... in fact she was furious......so much so that she shaved his head rather than just cutting the bit with the gas tar in. Everyone at his school thought he had nits. The trousers were treated with lard.

No suicide for me over applepie with cinnamon........don't like the stuff.....so it isn't much of a loss. I do like a nice baked egg custard with lots of nutmeg though.

The smell of new babies - the top end, not the bottom! They have a lovely snuffy spicy smell which goes at about 6 weeks. Lettie - please confirm!

Also, I love the smell of clove carnations ... beats roses etc hands down.
