Salford 1950
Dads fixing the wheel back on our old pram. Lassies’ running with her lead in her mouth,
“What’s going on? Anybody seen Bernard?” can be heard. That’s for me, it’s one of my jobs to push the pram across Regent Road to the gas works.
One by one they push their prams under the chute and down comes the coke. Some prams get moved along only half full if they don’t tip the chute man!
Lassie sits on our pram going and pulls with her lead tied to the pram coming home. She thinks she’s the pony express, barking all the way home.
Our Lassie is sat next to the pram now, must go then, just hope the wheels stay on.
