irs to the bridge. I loved the Turnpike pub - "Hayes Gate" being renamed "Waggon & Horses". I can think about the bridge in a different light now, especially with the Grand Union Canal making its appearance in the 1800's. Thank you so much for that.

bbed on our chest when we had a chesty cold. That felt really warm. I remember my mother-in-law telling us in her eighties that her mother used to rub goose fat on their chest for a heavy cold. I bet that was messy. Snowfire ointment (green) for chilblains and chapped hands (which you can still get in some chemists),and Eye Ointment for the many styes I used to get. Not forgetting Oil of Cloves for a toothache.

as always served in a green ridged bottle with a small cork in the top and had a pleasant smell. Think it was three-pennorth of camphorated oil, then two-pennorth of something else mixed with one-pennorth of olive oil. Whatever it was, it did the trick when rubbed onto our chests if we had colds. Also was given doses of Fennings Fever Cure, a clear liquid, which wasn't bad to take but after it had cleared the throat made us all shiver with distaste. Cod Liver Oil and Malt - loved it! White Horse Oils rubbed on aching legs in the winter. Borax and Honey to rub on mouth ulcers, Yellow Baselican (spelling bit dodgy here) to draw out splinters or grit from cut knees. My dad used to take Epsom Salts every now and again but us kids were treated most cruelly ... Senna Pods were steeped in hot water and we were made to drink the resulting liquid cold every Friday night "to keep us regular" - 'orrible! To visit our doctor (Dr. Nussbaum) cost between 2s.6d and 5s.0d so Chemists like Mr Petrie were worth their weight in gold and had an enormous amount of knowledge and sympathy too at times.

tip his into a plant. Only wish I'd had the courage. It made me feel sick to even smell it. I saw them advertised on the tele the other day, and I said ugh! to myself.

nce st...pre 1930 back in nans time nothhyde cranford lane..no doctors...neighbours helped each other...they built up a bit of immune system helped a bit..cold hardy manual work upbringing...but tb measles took nans mum and 3 kids off.in 10 days...grandmother signed registered.....glad we got innoculations at school.....lovely london mall today..huge high flags flowerbeds at the mall..lots ready for wedding..had free ticket buck palace art gallery..3 hrs to see it all..was so wonderful.....

nky around a hairgrip (no cotton buds in those days). Whilst doing it she always used to say "now don't jump if the doorbell rings"! Can you imagine anyone doing that nowadays, but it worked. Men always seemed to get boils then, my dad had them on the back of his neck quite regularly I remember - very painful.

as best for her health reasons....not know what meant..her neighbour lifelong friends was nurse all life.............I only went once doner..oh dear.......italy like others...doctors charged high amount ....no nhs.....

bed. It stops the coughing. Has anyone tried this? I would imagine a trip to the doctors would be more advisable if it persists.

g upset when we sang the old songs. The ones we all knew, and still remember now. All gone now, and no W.I. but some wonderful memories. At the top of the road on the right was Carrods the greengrocers. Last I heard it was a betting shop!
