73 didnt have a back kitchen,
I can imagen all the children having to help in the house,going down the yard to get coaland wood for the fire,helping to turn the mangle,bet the same one was there when Mum and Dad moved in,A huge mangle,
We had a landlady collected the rent every week,
May have been her or her Husband family owned the house back in 1901,and rented it out,
I know she owned 73 t0 79,and houses on Parr st,
It was two brothers owned 83 to 93 ,not sure about the 2 shops,But the brother were not good landlord,most of the houses still have Gas light only in 1960,
