Blast from the Past


In the thirties we had a Depression but we also had 'Our Gracie' - Gracie Fields a lass from Rochdale who became world famous. This was Lancashire in 1934. I remember those great bales of cotton being hoisted at Lolly Mill

'Dad if you swallowed that much chewing gum - would you die?'

Alas - all gone now.
'Depression? Eeeeeh lad - tha doesn't know tha's born!
