I recognise that cobbled street. Isn't that Memory Lane?

Re: Sixties Burnley.
I was 8 in 61/62 and jacksons delivered the milk in stoneyholme.I only did it once jumped on the back of the cart on Gordon street for a free ride when jumping off in my brand new pumps what were the chances of landing in a big slimy mess of steaming horse sh!t.....

Cracking thread this, ‘specially for us olduns.
Thee and me ‘must be’, not ‘are probably’ older than most.
I’ll reach the same milestone as you in March. As a matter of interest, what date’s your birthday, …. Mine’s the 7th and I wouldn’t like you to be able to call me a young whippersnapper.
Wonder just how many there actually are on here who are more ancient than us and when they went on their first match. Mine was 1945/46 when my grandad took me on.
Anyway, back to your post.
I can remember the knocker up quite clearly in the fifties although he didn’t come to our house. My mum’s reasoning was that as she was a light sleeper she always heard him banging on the window next door so why pay him? Tight sod were me mum! Mind you, like most folk who lived near t’Turf in those days, we’d nowt much anyway.
Going back to the OP. It was the late fifties when t’coyl and t’milk began being delivered by motor vehicles and there weren’t all that many horse and carts still doing it in the early sixties when I came back from National Service.
Creatures of habit with great memories were the delivery horses. They didn’t need controlling or directing. The farmer’s horse which brought our milk, without having to be told, stopped in exactly the same spot on our back street right outside our house every day and relieved itself. Gallons of ‘yellow water’ ran down ‘the channel’ into the grate and my mum shovelled up a bucket full of droppings which my dad took to his allotment. Grew fantastic rhubarb and roses did mi dad. The back street didn’t smell like roses in summer though!
When the farmer had ladled the milk out of the churn into the jugs the neighbours had brought out, he grunted ‘hup’ and the horse set off, taking EXACTLY the same line every time, so much so that the iron tyres on the cart wheels cut into the cobbles where they sloped down at the ends, eventually leaving ‘tracks’.
There’s an example of this still there less than 100 yards from our house as you can see on the attached piccy.
Reyt, that’s enough of my reminiscing and rambling, I could go on for ever as us old codgers are prone to do given the slightest opportunity.

Re: Sixties Burnley.
Didn't Jacksons have a depot next to the Methodist church?
Joss's farm, with his big dogs and firing the old shotgun at those silly enough to cross his land.
Remember black pipe, there was a green one as well I think.
Anyone remember the old bakery far side of the Rec, said to be haunted?

Re: Sixties Burnley.
Saw the reference to public baths earlier in the thread and remembered a decent view of North Street Baths which can be seen in the centre of the picture. It was an impressive structure but is now a wasteland since its demolition. I believe it was the first in the town in offering saunas with ice baths and rows of beds for recovery. Seem to recall the claim it was one of the first in the country to offer them.
St Andrews Church can be seen to the left and Barden Senior School to the right.
The picture is a still taken from Whistle Down the Wind.

Re: Sixties Burnley.
Goodness we used to go to the corker tree but i think there was a few of them . I remember just before the farm if you took the road there was a bend which curved upwards on the right of it was Bluebell wood as we used to call it , now never seen as many Bluebells as that spot .Volvoclaret wrote:Used to sneak passed in Autumn to get to King Conker tree on Jacksons land.

Also if you crossed the wood over the small stream a few fields over you came down to the bottom of Rectory Rd where the garages were, now played football night and day there and used to get chased away with the farmer who used to get around on a small motorbike , we used to say it ran on Tomato juice for some reason .

Is your picture of cobbles leading down to Piccadilly rd?"
No Tim,it's not that end of town.
As it's shown on Google Street Scene, just for a bit of fun, and if you've nowt else better to do, if I tell you It's less than ten minutes walk from the Turf and there's two pubs within 220 yards of it, wonder how long it will take to locate it.

we used to collect cigarette packets (fag packets) when we were kids and played games with them.
Some of the cigarette names I remember were-
Passing Cloud
Sobrani
Black Russian
Piccadilly
Robin
Churchmans
Park Drive
Black Cat
Capstan Full Strength
Weights
Players
Senior Service
I am sure there are many more that I cant bring to mind just now.

Re: Sixties Burnley.
.It definitely closed in 1973 but, from memory, I don't think it was demolished for a good number of years after that and was just left derelict. The site wasn't used again until Sainsbury's moved in which prompted the departure of Safeway on the other side of the roundabout.
You are probably correct on the closure of the odeon. Not sure of the exact year but somewhere between I think 1979 and 1982 was the time of the Safeway closure.
The closure of Safeway was timed to allow staff the opportunity to transfer to Sainsbury

Was that for the whole of Healey/Laithe, Berry and Davies? + was it for all forms of the game? The main variety when I played up there on the back streets was "nug" marbles. The "nug" usually being a missing cobble.

Re: Sixties Burnley.
On the subject of cigarette packets - It was some time before the 50s/60s but there used to be footballer cards in them. My grandma had a grocers shop and one day someone brought a packet back and said there was no card in so she swapped the pack only to be told there wasn't one in there either.
It turned out my dad had been in the shop when it was closed and nicked them to try and complete the set.

I remember North St Baths. Walking hand in hand from St John's Ivy Street in the sixties. Hot and damp and smelt of detergent. The clanking turnstile. Individual changing cubicles that you had to share with a mate. Does anyone remember the "bogey back street?"
