Afraid to say that I do not recall the Hen and Chickens or the term BOWYANGS.
But do remember when our bins were emptied, every week, one of the guys was rather large , wore a leather jerkin, I think, and clogs on his feet. Bin, up on his shoulder, tipped and returned to the back of the house.
My, how things have changed. Put your own bin out or it will not emptied!!

The Hen 'n' Chickens closed in 1935 - The tannery bought the property and used it as a laboratory.

They would go up Sonning ave,first man took the bin to the pavement second man empties the rubbish into the lorry,3rd man put the bin back in the garden,like clockwork,

Here in cardiff we have blue bags for paper cardboard,they take the bag from my garden,but the you have to hunt around to find it,
