Women used to watch whether a new neighbour 'pegged arrt' if she did it was a sign of being one of them, if she didn't it meant her washing weren't up to much and she were ashamed of hanging it out (or didn't wash that often!) :hihi:

Hello.

Heeley is where my husband was brought up.

Lived next door , or a few doors down from Taggies ice cream.

I feel sure his Mum, my Mum -in-law, told me they could have a bath every week for a few pence at Taggies, their house being the only one on the road with a bathroom.

Sorry if I am going off the subject but noticed a few names familiar to me.

We all lived on top of each other and "woe betide" a new neighbor who didn't conform, keep a tidy hearth, donkeystone her steps, or be proud of her washing displayed on the line, or even worse, flirted with a neighbours husband.

 

Tongues would wag!
