Back Coldhurst Street, My grandmothers house, The houses were back to back one-up one-down with a tiny kitchen that had a small coal burning boiler in the corner for doing the washing and making rag puddings. I remember the flag floors downstairs were always wet with rising damp, No fitted carpets for the poor in them days, just a damp floor if you were lucky a rug made from old coats, there was no electric and TV in them days, Most people had a wireless (radio) that had a accumulator (battery) you had to take it to the shop to get it charged, My Granny raised five kids in that house. I took the photo of my Granny and my aunty Cath at front gate in 1957 she died soon after, worked to death. '
