Cleopatra Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 The steps were because the door was locked and they couldnt find the key so they had to climb in and out of the window till the locksmith arrived to fix the lock and open the door but he could not come till the next day because he was taking part in the procession.

Dizzy Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Is the building at the top the one where the Polish Food Shop was/is. It was called 'Crankoff' or something . I say was/is cos I've not been that way for a while. Further up the road are the tacky councils planning offices etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
