We used to go along Bury New Road (quite near Cheetham Hill Rd) on a Sunday. There were lots of shops along there, in those days belonging to Jewish people. There was a furniture shop along there
belonging to 2 brothers, real gents. I bought an oval onyx and brass occasional table which is still in
use today, had it about 34 years. Shops there were thriving.Peter

The last bus journey back to Hanley at 10 pm every night used to stop at 'The Duke' for a pint each for the driver and conductor which was left behind the bar by grateful villagers. Passengers on the bus would wait patiently without any complaint. That was how life was in those days!
Barlaston hit the headlines in 1952 when a murder was committed at 'Estoril' a villa in Station Road. We were invaded by reporters for weeks. The murderer, Leslie Green was a previous employee of the deceased; he eventually gave himself up at Stone Police Station, was tried and hanged - such was the penalty at that time. We had known him well as he came quite often to 'The Duke' where we had a drink with him and a game of darts.Peter
