Raining Frogs

My grandparents, George and Helen (Nellie) GATENBY, lived in Connaught Road during my early childhood in the 1950's. My granddad was retired from working 60+years on the railways so he had retired to a row of about 6 terraced railway cottages. These cottages are gone now and replaced by flats. They had huge back gardens and he grew all his own veg. What I always remember was when it rained it rained frogs. Really! There was always hundreds of tiny frogs all over the place after a heavy shower. I am convinced they came down with the rain but who knows!
