A very different town even 30 years ago - each of us at the local junior school had at least one parent working in the textile or engineering industries.Boring Beinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10538954381007218982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30699407.post-61119636955523107562007-05-18T16:11:00.000-07:002007-05-18T16:11:00.000-07:00The local Salvation Army brass band play opposite ...The local Salvation Army brass band play opposite my front window, but only near Christmas these days.

My mum and dad's first house was a terrace. Washing hung across the street at the back, and a Salvation Army brass band played at the end the street on a Sunday. Opposite our house was a haberdasher, a greengrocer, a butcher (still thriving to this day) and a hairdresser (also doing well). This sounds like a scene from the 1920s - but I'm not even 40 yet!Boring Beinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10538954381007218982noreply@blogger.com
