Description: | Information from Trevor Rushforth, "8 Oborne street, was where I lived from a small child with my mother and father. My father owned the house. The small extension by the side of the house was the 'slop kitchen' housing a sink, copper - for boiling water. We would often have joints of ham hung from the ceiling. My father used to be a fruiterer, going around the area selling fruit and veg from his horse drawn cart. Other member of the 'Rushforth' family had fruit and veg stalls in the Sheffield market. By the side of the out-house is where the horse and cart were kept, together with other live stock, such as rabbits, chickens, geese, pigeons, and goats. People used to bring their waste food, which were known as 'slops'. These were fed to the animals, as payment for the food, people would be given eggs, a rabbit, a chicken. The house consisted of 3 floors. There was one rom downstairs, on the next floor was a bedroom, and another bedroom on the top floor 'the attick'. The family eventually left Oborne Street upon purchasing a house in Sturton Road, Osgathorpe. I have a few pictures of fmily members around the outside of the house." | Format: | Please select | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ |
