Caravans?
Im
coming up to 71 so I might be going a bit senile, however can anyone else remember
an enclosure of real old-fashioned caravans near Thomas Street croft
before 1939 War? My wife Eileen thinks Im dreaming but she is so much
younger than me-only in her sixties.
These were the old horse drawn type with big wheels and rounded tops (like the one you see hired out for holidays in Ireland).
I think they were on some land enclosed by a high brick
wall bounded by Dyson Street, Vickers Street and James Street. I even think
there was a lad who lived in one who came to Corpus Christi School whose name
might have been Hockenhall or similar??
