We had … when father went to the market, he used a bigger cart ‘cos there was a lot more and obviously sometimes there was a pig that was being taken to market, but when he took me and it was most of the provisions that Grandma had, it was a smaller cart and ‘Lion’ our horse, he plodded off down Forest Road, along … and of course you didn’t have the dual carriageway and all that … we went down Honey Hill and round and up into Town and then turned at the top and that’s what I say, I think it was where Morrison’s was. Or it could have been still St James’s, but I think St James’s was too early for me.
