My Grand Parents

My grandparents lived in Hearts of Oak Cottages and we used to go and see them on Sundays with my dad and brothers while my mam made dinner. We would walk down the old line. My dad took us to the engine room at the colliery to show us the engine, it was exciting, then we would go to Gran's for a drink and a bite to eat. I loved my gran's food. She gave us sixpence every week half a crown on our birthday.

RE: RE: My Grand Parents

I remember going to my grandparents in The Hearts of Oak on a Sunday and walking over the bridge to get there. We also walked down the old line. My dad use to take us then back to grannys. I remember dad going to the pub then for an hour - he brought us wafer biscuits home and crisps.
