Not chestnut man in Pond street (Barry Blacks dad) in the 50,,s Tag men walking round the streets and you got a goldfish or s balloon for the tags. Playing on old deralict factories during the slum clearance in upperthorpe/Netherthorpe. Being able to step off back loader buses when they went that slow between stops. The Hot Roast Chestnut men around Pinstone street (Many were bad, but it was dark and you didnt notice them). Going to the Hippodrome in the "Gods" or trying to sneek in the Lyceum to watch the Easter Follies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
