irenee123 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I delivered papers in 1956 aged 14 and was sent for a medical to make sure I was healthy. I delivered about 40 papers on Edward Street Flats which took about 30 minutes and then another 30 minutes to deliver just 2 papers up near Weston Park.I was paid 6 shillings which I used to buy a record every week.I was then asked to look after the paper shop on Sunday mornings whilst the shopkeeper took a trolley round Jessops hospital selling sweets etc and then my wage went up to 10 shillings.It was pitch black on the winter mornings but quite safe then.
