Kit Lack remembers, "Our mother opened a shop when we moved to No. 29 Compton
Street.
A bit of grocery… and toffee apples. It started with toffee apples. She'd got
five shillings and went
out and brought some sugar, toffee, apples, sticks… Our Dad said to her when she
came home: "How many
toffee apples did you sell?" She said: "Sixty." She'd just made five shillings,
a penny a toffee apple."
Pat Edwards, "I can remember the man that sold winkles, with a wooden barrow
going round Compton Street.
People used to have winkles for their tea on Sunday."
