'Dewsnap House' At the time of this phoograph it was occupied by the Hegginbotom's who worked Dewsnap Farm. Mr Hegginbotom would deliver milk by horse and trap. The horse was always well groomed with its main done up in plats. The trap was spotlessly clean and shiny with the wood work brightly varnished and lined out. There was a long whip keep in a holder but we never saw it being used. The milk was in metal milk churns that stood in the back of the trap and the milkman would walk alongside delivering milk. The milk was drawn out of the churns using a laidel which was then emptied into jugs left on the window sills by the householders.
The children would wait for the horse in Pearson |Street and give it a slice of apple off the flat of their hands.
Dewsnap House was last occupied by a foster family who was looked after by a lady called Mary. The children were Karla Perry, Howard Frank Perry and Naomi Rebecca Perry who were all pupils at Globe Lane School between 1957 and 1964
