I was 7 in 69

I was brought up in flat just ta left of shrubbery and Tommys plumbers sign. Where Cortina was was a hairdressers I think with Batchies sweetshop in about 67. My mam began seeing a miner from Dr Pit in 60s before pit closed. My first shower was in dr pit, The flat and houses had no bathrooms. My grandad owned garage at back of houses. We moved away from here in 69 shortly after pit closed. Shops used ta burn rubbish outside in those days behind front street
