Back Than

A Memory of Rochdale.

Hi there born 16/02/1951 lived at 7 Barton street back to back no longer (there). Had gas lighting and electric lighting and a gas lamp outside my bedroom. Townhead cotton mill was at the bottom of our street and knocker upper use tap the windows to wake the mill workers for 6 Am shift. Did not have a TV until 1960 a Rediffusion 19" wired. Went to Saint Pats infant sch. Than moved to a Council estate at Newbold nicked named Tin Town. Live in Mansfield (Robin Hood neck off the woods) now, still go back its all now changed that's the way things are thanks.
