Eccles cakes from Bains on a Friday

After school (King’s Rise) I worked at Lennons with Mr Lennon and his son Eric Lennon, they had a warehouse in Streetly by chicken sheds, I saved up my wages and bought a Raleigh push bike from Knights Mr Lennon had a ride on it infront of the shop, Eric’s Wife managed the haberdashery she made a mean cup of cocoa when it was cold, Parks fruit and veg were opposite. at the back of Lennons there was a shoe shop ,on the Kings Rd there was the very famous Bains bakery every Friday we were treated to an Eccles and a fairy cake my sister worked there. on special occasions I had a chocolate eclair My mom Mrs Morton was a founding member of the Townswomen’s Guild, Sunday mornings my dad would take us to Sutton park, as a treat we had Orange juice in a bottle from the milkman he used to run it under the tap to cool as we didn’t have a fridge ( how did we manage )
