Bluestone Cottage Hough Hill
A Memory of Brown Edge.
When I moved to "Bluestone" in 1955 there was no water or sanitation .Mum and Dad ( Len & Ellen Snape) collected the water in pales from the spout in Sandy Lane. We had a well but the water in it wasn't safe to drink. The toilet out side was emptied by the night soil men . Who we children called the "muck men" for obvious reasons My dad drew water up from our well and put it into an electric boiler. He then put a tin bath by the fire and filled the bath with the water and lots of Dettol no bubble bath for us .I was 9 when my brother Garry was born .My friends Sandra and Michael Simcock lived at Lower Fernyhough farm.I have such happy childhood memories of playing on their farm .Angela Clarkson Nee Snape
