About 100 yards down the canal bank was a row of cottages called Dandy Row.I think there were 5 of them. A friend of mine, Neville Langton, lived there in the sixties. I remember going to the toilet at his house, outside of course, and was amazed to find it was an earth toilet, no plumbing, and double seated!They were demolished either at the end of the sixties or the very early seventies.
