Jack Garside And Mucky Minnie

Does anyone remember 'Spring-heeled Jack' and 'Mucky Minnie', the local tramp and his partner from the market place? Well, we do, and we also bought his house to sell on. My husband still has the scars from the flea bites to prove it.

RE: RE: Jack Garside And Mucky Minnie

Jack Garside and Mucky Minnie lived a few doors from me in High Steet, Birstall, he was a scary looking man, dirty and smelly, but he had a kind side to him, he used to give me and my brother money nearly every day to buy sweets with, He told me about his life and what he did. I will always remember him and Mucky Minnie lol.... what makes this world good is difference to be different.
