l played on Smiths field in the thirties, there was quite a thriving cricket club complete with all the usual needs, it was in existence to my knowledge to the 40/50 ties, l believe there was a covenant in existence stopping building on the field, at the bottom end there was a balloon barrage and when l used to go on parade at the local h/ guard in the 40 ties l used to be quite friendly with a Scottish girl named Bobbie, especially on her night duty when we used to crawl in the sand bag store, these bags of sand were used to hang on the balloon in windy weather.

Hi. l bet the Hyman brothers didn't know of of your friendly salesman's advice,l did work for them on the first shop they had, on Ellesmere Rd Pitsmoor around 1957-58 and found them fair but very keen,l worked on their houses too, one named Bernard had me fitting a large safe under the stairs with a secret door in the hallway,the old coal house was the actual site and bricked up solid. I'll not give the exact address[the present owner may have still retained it] but it was off Carterknowle Rd,When l gave him the price he asked for it in writing, with a promise not to divulge,also in writing, a few days later he phoned to say he had my quote, and when are you starting l said when you accept in writing. That is how keen he was. CHEERS Arfer Mo

PS note the measurements of the day.
