More About The Ship Inn
A Memory of Ospringe.
Money was scarce and every day I would go to the Ship Inn at Ospringe to do Mrs. Lightfoot's shopping, she would pay me sixpence a week.
Kath would shop for Mrs. Potter the school teacher on a Saturday.
I would go to help Aunt Jessie for two shillings and sixpence a day.
We were only twelve years old and we thought it was a lot of money, 2/6p would buy Mum a bag of coal.
