The dust carts and coal lorries never went down our entries. They would not have got around the corners.
That is why one admires dustmen and coalmen from our day. They had to go all the way around the back, the dustman halfway up the garden, the coalman to the top of the garden. They could only carry one sack of coal or one dustbin at a time. Do not recall any complaining.
They were quite long back gardens if my memory serves me correctly, so all the more credit to them.
Slash, from your previous posts it looks like we lived quite close to each other. You said you lived close to John Barton, so did I although a year or so older than him. Did you know John Minerick, the Deacons, Louches. Caddens etc?
slash1 last posted in March last year. Not uncommon for people to pop in quietly between posts, but if you want to give them a heads up, you could try contacting through the contact button, which will leave a message here but might also be forwarded on to his real email. It doesn't use real emails, so slash1 would have to return to reply. Hope that helps renew an acquaintance.
