Hi Jim,
yes I can remember the singing from the Ingleby we were opposite just a bit up the hill, and the rag&bone man with his horse and cart he seemed to stop at the Ingleby every day for a liquid lunch;
Then there was the lady who lived at the bottom of your entry - I think Mrs Goddard, she used to take bets on the horses - probably a bookies runner.
Bomb Sites, yes that was it lots of fun, heath and safety - that's a joke ..
In fact I had my first sexual encounter on a Bomb Site - Teresa Smith showed me her 'Belly Button' and explained that was where babies came out, which led to various problems in later life
.
You know there's one thing you might be able to help me with - At the bottom of Ingleby Street on the left was a little shop we called 'Peacocks' but others have said there was a pub right opposite 'Peacocks' called The Swan, I just cannot remember that, do you recollect 2 pubs in Ingleby street ?
I was their from birth 1950 to 1963 when we moved to Tamworth.
Thanks - Chris.
