Grandma used to walk to the Railway inn with a jug & get a pint of stout for granddad. Do you remember the cottages, a terrace of three, oppsite the road by the police station?

Sharron

Sharron Report 8 Jul 2013 15:46

They sold guns and sporting clothes and I can remember there being toys in that area somewhere but what a fine combination, toys and guns!

The little Railway Inn was there by the canal too. I only ever went in there once and Charlie Harding's scrapyard was by the canal.

Now I'm off!

Edit: It was Perce Harding had the scrapyard.
