Notes
3 Bedrooms, kitchen, large lounge/dining room, bathroom, long passage way, back porch, laundry & toilet. Copper in laundry for 'boiling' clothes. SEC only used certain colours to paint houses - our kitchen in pale green and the rest in cream.
Washing day - mum would bring in white sheets covered in coal dust.
Dad always had a bonfire for Guy Fawkes - all the kids in the street came - it was a wonderful time.
In the early days, maintenance was always done regularly on house.
