So the question is, what was in the bin'oles (rubbish I know)in the early 70's, did you still use the key? Old metal bins still? Clean the rest out with a shovel? Heck of a job you had then Mr.Harris.

Shared bin ole, outside toilet, coal ole. Back in the early 60's we had our coal delivered by the Salmons (sorry can't remember the 1st names) and we could only afford 3 sacks so my Mum who was at work told me to count the bags to make sure it was the right amount, yea right, 8 year old telling a big dirty coalman he has miss-counted!!!! Never happened, we did always get the right amount mind!

Yep, we had a key and yep, they were metal bins. Can't remember cleaning anything else from said bin 'oles (unless it looked like it could be sold for beer money).

I knew Alan Salmon in my teen years when I 'mated out' with 4 girls from the New Lane area.

It is good to know that he has been successful in business - I always use Hyndburn Cars.

Think they're the only Hyndburn firm with local drivers never seen an Asian driving one of their cars, Think Alan and Rex were brought up on Trinity Street Margaret, Alan lives on Rhyddings street or did, ain't seen him for a few years now, he used to do part of the car ambulance transfer system, that's the last time I saw him.
