    We had a piano that was kept locked, but I can remember my mam playing it at "do's". It's final tune was played on Bommy night 1958 or 59 as it was consigned to the bonfire in Back Rossy.
    Our parlour had the usual glass cabinet. Pride of place was a small figure of Winston Churchill smoking a cigar. The cabinet contained Elizabeth 11 coronation memorabilia etc., together with the usual shire horse.
    Still smoking after all these years.
    Cheers gregs dad,
    Chas

    Thanks Ged,
    The Kempston St pic is a corker. No wonder the fog in my days was so thick, how un-PC is the message on the horse cart? Shame I can't see the tenements clearly, I think we lived on the 3rd floor.
    You're right, I did get the back Rossy pic off you a while ago.
    Cheers,
    Chas

    In our house the front room is still called the Parlour....... couldn't call it anything else.... wouldn't seem right.
    The Kitchen used to be called the Back Kitchen,and mostly still is within the family,but to outsiders it is called the Kitchen..only because some people look at you funny if you prefix with Back

    We never had the alsations but had plenty of small figures of cats won from the Fair in Newsham Park,along with plenty of goldfish carried home in those little see through plastic bags
