kris99 Â Â 11 #2 Posted November 7, 2018 Always intrigued me, but where did 'Tinker's Corner' at Bradway get its nickname from and when? Â I have a vague memory reading about this somewhere. Apparently nothing to do with itinerant household utensil menders-tinkers, but to do with Tedbar Tinker man who lived in the area. Still exists as a company.

I'm very interested in local history and particularly that area. I'll have another look now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
