Characters
A Memory of Wishaw.
I remember 60 years ago a character known locally as 'Daw Barr'; he used to go around collectng beer bottles in a sack carried over his shoulder which at that time you could take back and exchange for money, or in Daws case more beer from the pubs! I believe he slept rough and I also remember a couple taking up residence in the field just down and left from Wishaw Train Station. I think it was a made up shelter made from old wood and perhaps a canvas shelter over it - rent and rates free of course! I don't think they stayed there for too long. At that time there were a few characters about and if anyone reads this and can add to my comments, please do.
