This is called 'keeping the old topics alive'....... Noel, you mention a bloke who sold firewood, well me Mum says there was one called Tom Riley, who had an older brother Jim, and who had a cabin where the caravan site is now. Mum lived in one of the three old houses down Bent Lane next to the 'new' pub, and they used to hear him chopping away, he also delivered round Leyland, but goodness knows how long ago that was......
I think his name was Tom, it would be way back in the mid fifties. I think he had scruffy blond hair and usually a long scruffy coat on
though I was only 9 or 10 at the time. I also rememeber Bidwell's fish van coming round. If we weren't in he would wrap some fish up in newspaper and stick it through the letter box.
We had a cat at the time!!!
The significant owl hoots in the night.
