In the late 19 fourties we lived top of devonshire street and along with westwood street we had to suffer a awful smell from the metcalfes fertilzer plant I am told they are now based in oswaldtwisle hope the stink is not as bad as ours was

Now that you mention it, I do remember the smell of the cloggers ... used to get my clogs at the shop on Barnes St.

And the River Stink

Not too many of us left that wore clogs ... we are like the USMC: "The Few and the Proud."
