Bolton’s Shops

ust Fred

Put Wood In t’hole

I remember when you could go to Bolton’s toffee shop; It was the place on our way to school we would stop.

Fruit salads, Black Jacks, Barley Sugar, and liquorice sticks Coltsfoot rock, Cherry lips, Sherbet lemons and lollies to lick.

He came from Bolton; a short man, with his flat cap on his head. His name was Dibnah, but to all he was known as Fred. He would climb a factory chimney over two hundred feet in height, When you saw him sat up there it would give you a heck of a fright.

Come ‘ere our Jack, put wood in t’hole and sit thisen down.

I’m abowt to av mi baggin and if tha doesn’t come in I’ll frown.

I wer’ just thinkin’ it must be over twenty minutes sin I ‘ad a brew.

I’ve bin so busy messin abowt, but now I’ve got newt for t’do.

Riley’s chocolate toffee rolls, and Merry Maid caramels as well Dolly mixtures, Milky Bars, Torpedoes and more she would sell.

When at last of the pocket money we had to spend that day It was off to school until home time then again to play.

Now if it was pork sausages, cow heel, tongue or ham boiled There was Agnes in the next shop were you would be spoiled.

Hanging there were sausages of beef and pork as well She had beef pies, pork pies and puddings that were swell.

He was the last of the old-time steeplejacks, a master of his trade. If you ever saw him on a chimney that memory would never fade.

Ropes, ladders, knowledge and his skill these were his ony tools. He never did think much of the new Health and Safety rules.

He brought down factory chimneys within feet of where he stood, He could do this task just using a jackhamer, fire and wood.

He would stand on the rubble in his hand he would have his hat, Then those magic words you would hear “Did you like that?”

His yard back home was full of all machines powered just by steam. The chance to see him on his traction engine was many people’s dream. You won’t see Fred up a chimney or on his steam engine any more, For the good Lord called him to his side in two thousand an’ four.

Last time ah saw thee, were many weeks ago and that’s bin too long.

I heard that tha’ wor in t’Townley, singing rebellious Lancashire songs.

Tha knows I ‘ave to say tha’ shudent tek mickey owt of Yorkshire folk, Abowt em paying for newt for they always say that there broke.

Then I ‘eard tha wor clacking abowt folks frae lands down t’south.

I war ashen when I ‘eard words they said had come frae the mouth.

I ‘eard tha wor sayin they should come up t’north for here to settle.

After sayin that Jack, thar lucky I don’t clout tha wi’ mi cast iron kettle!
