Bill:
Your story reminded me of my Grandfather, Ted Newsham. He and Gran also lived on Bent Lane, had a Plumber and Decorator business at number 168, just before the rise to the Turpin Green raiway bridge.
It might have been the same milkman's horse who made a solid deposit in the street. As Grandad came out with the shovel, a Leyland Motors test chassis went by and ran over the pile. His comment was "damn, he's squozzen all t'juice aht".
