all4_ofus Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I remember them quite well, we called them tinder boxes, we used to go to this certain hill we called the docker, the clay was good there..then we'd mold it into little boxes and put a piece of rag inside,for a wick,then light it, and it would smoulder for ages Originally posted by sweetdexter Do any of you guy's remember making small clay containers ,letting them dry ,then using them to burn material like rotted wood,or stuff that would just glow and smoulder? I seem to remember we would run with them to make them glow. I dont remember what the point of the pastime was. We also used to use a tin can with holes.put the same combustable material inside attach a wire sling and whirl it round to make it glow. The things we did to entertain ourselves. I suddenly remembered these things as I was passing a dead tree that had been felled by the wind, and seeing all the dead wood in the trunk.

dowkeruk Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 We used to make those square clay pots in the 40's, whirling them around. This was on Northcote Avenue close to Cat Lane Woods. There was also a huge bonfire at the bottom of Raleigh Road on Nov.5th. When I moved to Sheffield Lane Top, the communal bonfire was on a bit of spare land between Kinnaird Av, and Barnsley Road.
