That is absolutely fascinating about the common loft!!! From a 'modernistic' point of view I don't know how anybody could feel easy knowing the whole street had access to your house via a loft. (That is no disrespect for the people in the street.) My mother and my granny used to do a door check every night and my mother used to but our bike against the door for added precaution. This was in ths fifties-sixties. I would love to know if any Bedlington terraces had the same!! With regards to comic swaps that was something we did as kids; of course it was DC comics; Batman, Superman, The Legion of Super Heroes, etc. Amazing story, B R.
