Glad you all had a good time. would love to have been there but neither of us could have managed the stairs
hi mike....the stairs were not for the faint hearted i can tell you:cry: and i had forgotton just how many there were to get up and down...actually we were talking about how narrow they are and concluded the upstairs furniture must have been transported up there via some sort of pully device from the outside and through the windows....

I watched that in disbelief, the back-to-back I lived in as a child wasn't like that at all. Where were the black beetles and the silver fish running everywhere, and the coal under the stairs, and the............. I could go on all night about the dump we lived in. A very sanitized depiction of a back-to-back in my opinion.

ps. it was a good programme apart from that.
I think the people who restored the houses will be the first to admit the houses are only a glimpse of what they were like. Of course they are clean or people wouldn't visit. You can also stay in one well who would want to do that if bugs are running around. Carl Chinn told me he took some of the students from the university around them. The main comment from the foreign students was they couldn't believe British people lived in such small houses. When we visited my husband went back to his childhood to his aunts house he said it bought back many memories he had forgotten many good ones too.
We have a campaign going at the moment to save the transport museum. If we don't visit these places we will loose them. They are a great learning place for children to see how it was. There are several recordings you can listen to of people who lived in these houses which describe what it was really like. I can't believe we are knocking our own museums because that's what they are. Please visit and make your own mind up.
