THERE'S a plethora of memories waiting in the pipeline...

My thanks to all those loyal customers who help keep this page stoked up with reminiscences, brain teasers and shafts of humour. Pressure on space prevents them from all being included at once, but all will be published in turn and I hope our correspondents will bear with me.

Among the items on the launch pad are: a hair-raising tale from the gas-tar era; the meaning of Pewfall; Memories of horse and cart times; a tribute to old time local stand-up comic Joe Melia; photographic reminders of Carr Mill's halcyon days; a lesson in Yick-speak; plus an old-time plunge into Boundary Road Baths.

And there's even more than that to come. So keep tuning in to this nostalgia station.
