Down memory lane - are you here?

Careers, or a way of life buried in museums and historic villages......

Did this hardworking fellow ever have a 'title'?

The crafty creators of yesteryear - do you remember your first machine?

My first was a Remington -  Touch-typists, what a breed!

The local shopkeeper and his store were a favourite - those lollies for a penny!

The butcher always had a spare snag or bone for the family pooch, now a bone costs $3 

Did your Primary school classroom look like this? Mine did! I loved all of my Primary School teachers.

I have NO idea as to why anyone would want to have had this career! (shudder)

Hats off to our stay-at-home Mums of yesteryear! They had so many mod cons to get them through their day :/

The following career is by far the most admired by me, we used to leave the "Night-watchman" (as he was known) a whole carton of beer as a heartfelt thank-you for the job he did and the service he provided (regularly) [pardon the pun] - throughout the year.

Sometime after mid-night the 'service' was provided, and I clearly remember the "Night-watchman's" arrival, the clang of the pans being changed and the thump of his footsteps as he made his way up the side of the house under his heavy load hoisted onto his shoulder.  (in my time though, the vehicle had modernised to a motorised truck!)
