Irene Swainsbury remembers, "We lived at Number 5 Bull Head Lane. There were
four bedrooms, two flights
of stairs. We lived with my grandmother. My mother had three rooms there. We
just had one room downstairs.
An old, black cooker in there, up the corner. We had a scrubbed, wooden-top
table and there was always a clean
tablecloth on it. We lived right at the top of the house. I didn't used to like
to have candles to go to bed with.
Downstairs it was only gas lamps, round the walls. Underneath us there was two
big rooms, they weren't like cellars.
As you went out to the back garden there were stone steps on the left hand side,
going down to these rooms at the bottom.
The toilet was at the top of the garden. My father always said that there were
some tunnels under that house that went under
the Cross Keys and right through to the Market Square."
