in the early 50s we lived in the Prefabs on Barden Road
all good times brought up with the best.
me Mam thought it was a good idea to keep the bed warm
by putting a small round parrafin heater of the green house type
under the bed worked a treat until our bed set on fire,good old days
we had to trek down church pushing a pram, my brothers i presume,
get it filled up at a local shop with coal brickets,and push it all the way back
but at least we kept warm

Used to live on Royds Street as a lad, and we had an old long drop (tipler) toilet then, we once had to lower a bucket down it to rescue our cat, which had fallen down there.

My Gran and Grandad also had a long drop at their house in Kay Street in Ossy. My Gran told me that one night after a "session" in the Tinker and Budget pub, my Grandad used the toilet, when he got back in the house they were having a laugh and she slapped him on the back....only to discover he had crapped on his braces!!!...urggh!

Best Regards - Taggy
