Life as A Kid

I used to go to Usworth Park to play football or go bird nesting down the planton at Waterloo. I also used to go round collecting bottles to take back to shop and get the money for the pictures. We had 3 picture houses in Washington, the Kings, the Queens and the Regal. I went to Saturday matinees and saw Flash Gordon and Hopalong Cassidy.
