My mum Dorothy Fewtrell and myself Margaret use to go to the market in the mid 50s - we would come home with baby rabbits and young chickens - it was a fun time. I think I was about 13. I used to go dancing above a shop in Dartford - think the shop was a men's clothes shop the name Bolton not sure if the name but like that,I now live in Australia
