shaving bowls- shaving sticks- styptic pencils- Rose shoe shops- little box of Roin starch navy blue knickers-awful things- DC electricity metal dustbins- bronco toilet rolls- stilletto's with screws in the heels- coloured & perfumed tissues

I wonder if anyone else can recall this.When I was at Victoria Primary about Age 7 or 8 there was a Jamaican girl called Lettice Moore who jumped out of her bedroom window & killed herself. It had such an devastating impact on myself & something I have never forgotten

Love all the memories Mine is being sat on my mums knee with the steam kettle boiling to create steam for my asthma- thankfully I only had it until I was five when we moved from Bingham to Nottingham
