Squares of paper in the loo

told by Janet Crowe

Growing UpFamily

Houses in Newstead road were on small hall stairs straight in from 3 bedrooms, downstairs reasonable size living room and kitchen the bathroom was off the kitchen and the toilet was outside…. I remember having cut up squares of paper in the loo !. We had quite a long garden all the local kids played in it much to my Dad’s horror! we had an entry between us and next door and we used to play in there a lot with a tennis ball in a pair of my Mom’s tights banging up the Wall !! not for long tho !!! My Dad was a Carpenter so our house was really nice all wood panels over the chimney breast with a picture in the middle.
