Thanks for putting all this together! Brought back many memories, including driving an hour each week to Halifax from Bolton, and then back again in the dark eating a bag of cheese‘n’onion crisps. Thanks to our parents for being willing to do this every Sunday evening before another week of heavy factory work.
