Not many seem tohave heard of it, though it has its own web page (https://www.sandwell.gov.uk/info/200265/museums_and_art_gallery/8/oak_house/1) did not put originally in post but the Turtons were later described as gulgropers,ie moneylenders. I think that is a wonderful word.
Thank you John for the recollections. If you can find the picture of yourself in the babywalker, I would love to see it if you could post it on the forum
