Wheatsheaf Lane 1930s

My mother used to do the washing for the Simpsons at North House and I used to have to take the washing back down the steps to the big kitchen.

When I lived in the Square we used to play up the Castle and in Wheatsheaf Lane; that was our play area because there were no cars or anything like that. You could go up to the Castle anywhen you liked. We used to love going up there because you could frighten one another to death in the dungeons, and if anyone shut the door you could hear them scream right across the town.
