I can still recall going under the water and then popping back up and thrashing about. I would have been a goner only for my mate, all the other kids legged it down to tell my Mother.
By the time my Mother came up with the posse of kids, I was in a family friend's house in Wood Street (backed onto the cut) being dried off in front of the fire.
I was given a cup of tea, a cake, and a change of clothes belonging to her son. I was then marched home with half the kids around there following down to our house
