I could of course recognise the Gas Works. I would run up Raglan Street and along the canal side to get to Providence Mill in time to start work at 7-30.

That's Cable shoes and next door with the other blind down is the tobacconist. On Cable shoes I pulled that blind down many a summers day! As you say shop blinds not to be seen anymore. Today it is solar shield to protect the merchandise!John Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07817333229039583050noreply@blogger.com
