Denman Street, as I remember it, was quite a long street with loads of corner-shops at the end of the streets that ran from Denman Street, Lacemaker.
Just about everything you needed could be bought there; wallpaper and paint, "fork handles""O's" etc.
tin bath, washboards and dolly-tubs; sugar weighed into blue-bags, broken biscuits all that stuff - I could go on and on.
They were, as we were, poor, decent, honest people and the back-bone of this country.
If at first you don't succeed, sky diving isn't for you!
