kay1 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 6 weeks holiday from school, out at 9 in the morning and coming back at tea time, a slice of bread of jam and bottle of water, did the sun really shine every day? Attercliffe baths 2d and a bath ticket. Walking to Clifton Park to go paddling (all day again) Christmas day, 5 penny book with paper dolls, clothes you cut out and fastened to the doll and a "magic" painting book. Listening to Paul Temple on the wireless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trastrick Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 A ponch, a cellar grate chain and as Bognor Regis is in Sussex, perhaps a little too far (and cost) for most south Yorkshire people then. That's why it was some aunt and uncle, never US! ---------- Post added 18-07-2016 at 10:51 ---------- Wasn't the gas water heater a Geyser? Not that dissimilar to today's combi-boilers in concept. Also hot water bottles to keep us warm in bed. Also wrapped up bricks and oven plates! ---------- Post added 18-07-2016 at 10:56 ---------- 6 weeks holiday from school, out at 9 in the morning and coming back at tea time, a slice of bread of jam and bottle of water, did the sun really shine every day?

Listening to Paul Temple on the wireless. We were gone all day, every day. Lodge Moor, Stanage, Stoney, and we didn't have cell phones. That was freedom (and probably today, child neglect!)

TWhits Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 carbolic soap, nit lotion, and dripping borrowed from next door What was the point of borrowing dripping? We used to eat ours (on toast browned on the open fire) and so nothing to give anyone back if we had borrowed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
