Remember the large windows and window sills that used to be on Queen Street? I remember seeing the workers through those - It was always my ambition to be able to climb onto the highest sill - as I was only small this seemed remote .I'm happy to say that one day I DID achieve this only to be caught by the headmaster from Leigh Street Juniors (Mr Senior) who promptly stopped his car and told me off!

(Never let the truth get in the way of a good story is my motto). I vividly remember when walking back from my other Grans on Dowson Road, that we used to pass under the bridge on Queen Street, and on warm days, they had the windows open and you could see the people at work inside. I also remember the smell of the place....not at all unpleasant actually.Ex Hydeonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13356054534187206215noreply@blogger.com
