Across the Road from where I grew up. I once knicked the bell donger thing from inside the bell that used to wake me up every Sunday Morning. Think i was round about 10 years old. The old boy that used to ring the bell. Gave it one almighty pull on arrival that morning. With nothing on the end as I had detached the rope also. He apparently plummeted forwards smashing his head. Fucking ambulance comes up the road and wakes me up any ways. I'm sure there's a moral to that story ............... And one of you clever guys will let me know ......................

I used to live near the Radnor Street Cemetery and, even back then (late 1990s) it was looking very tatty.
Did you manage to get the date corrected on the inscription? |
