Jakfromshef   10 #477 Posted August 20, 2010 Does anyone remember the Lee family who lived in one of those large houses near the top of Broughton Road on the right hand side. We used to buy Ovoids from there.  Ovoids were round oval blocks which were made from coal dust but much cheaper than coal.  I believe they are now sold as smokeless furel to be used in stoves.  Happy Days! PopT  I live on Broughton Road now and i also know the families that live in those houses. i never knew the history on my road can you guys help me explore it further?
