    You're having already crocuses? In Germany only the snowdrops begin to show their heads. Whose grave is it?

    maybe the weather is sometimes not so bad.

    This beautiful picture has inspired me to write a few words about Saint Chad's that I posted in the traditional creativity threads. I hope you don't mind.

    Saint Chad's Sad Stone's
    (Inspired by Greg's Dad's beautiful picture)

    There they stood twisted and gnarled
    Their faces weathered and beaten
    Algae growing on bare sand stone
    The carefully carved writing eaten

    Devoured by generations of pollution
    The acid in the rain eating stone
    Did the man who chipped that stone
    Ever think that rain would destroy it

    Family of the dead long dead themselves
    No one left to come and mourn
    Cut the grass and clean the stone
    Complain to council about litter

    Look at what Spring has sprung
    The carpet of purples and whites
    Reaching for the rays energies
    Life goes on, Life still goes on

    That's so very British. I like it, but the houses are so very small. Maybe 3 metres wide, not more, and 2 stories. Do there live families with 2 children for instance?

    which street is this malwood, elswick ? I used to work on many of those houses in those streets, and along grafton street which runs across the bottom, bread was filmed in these streets, I actually worked for the creator of bread and the liver birds ( carla Lane ) on her house in London, love this pic, brings back memories of walking up to mill street to get chips or bacon butties for our dinner

    Atany, these houses are very old, known as 2 up, 2 down, as in the number of rooms. When built in fact, families were much larger so it would be more common for 6 or more people to be housed in them. Elswick Street was the 'Bread' Street (sitcom), my father-in-law was born in Grafton st then moved to one of these streets, Netherby but has been in the Flower Streets, Kirkdale now for 40 odd years.

    Atany, not many miles South of here, some of the houses are as big or bigger then 3 or 4 of these put together.

    one thing i remember about all the houses in these streets i worked on was that when replacing the front door frames the brickwork was a good 1 and a half inches out of plumb heading towards the mersey and the frames just looked wrong if you put them in plumb so you would have to purposley put them in wonky......... oh yeah and while your having a cup of tea and its quiet you can hear the trains rattling like hell directly underneath you.
