I used to live in Ebenezer Street and can remember Harry Poundall's lorry. To save starting it and using petrol, he used to freewheel it down the street to his three stopping places.

The best story about Harry came from an old freind of mine, Don Bates who was "the man from the Pru". He sold Harry a public liability insurance policy for his farmyard. When a visitor was bitten and Harry made a claim, Don had to go and investigate. Instead of the single dog referred to on the Proposal Form, there was about half dozen big black fierce dogs. When Don asked which dog was insured, Harry replied "Him as bites visitors!"

There was also a skipping and ball rhyme I can remember the girls using, which went:

Harry Poundall sells fish,
Three ha'pence a dish
Don't buy 'em, don't buy 'em,
They stink when you fry 'em,
Harry Poundall sells fish.
