Well i lived there in the 50's and it's a child's view you'll get!!
Let me think.....
Alive with people a pub on both ends of the street although the top end was around the corner in what they called Little Eel Street.
Back to back houses.We lived in one up one down and the toilet down the entry in the yard.There were two toilets in the yard shared by 5 families.We had a donkey,bantams and pidgeons in ours as well.A big Brew'uss was in the corner and tuesdays was wash day.
Tommy Brain would deliver his coal on a horse drawn wagon and we would run behind collecting the 'Oss Muck for the vegetables grown in the yard.
There'd be hopscotch games drawn on the street and we'd play rounders or play amongst the cotton bales in Cuxson and Gerrards across the road in Churchbridge.
No cars except for Uncle Jack's son in law Howard who'd visit maybe once or twice a week and park it outside our house.
Winter nights were dark!The street lighting wasn't too bright.We'd play hide and seek and November would always bring pea-soupers so thick you couldn't see one foot in front of you.
At the top of the street was a big Marlhole but we never climbed obver the fence to play there.Our playground was The Blue Billy a man-made mound of chemical waste and thats were we had our dens.
