After getting over the shock of being contacted by the BOHEN family after 40 years my mind has been going back to the days when I wer a lad growing up in Stacksteads in the Rossendale Valley and who I would don me clogs and clamber on board my dads wagon and help with the deliveries of fruit & veg to shops and factories around the East Lancashire district .

I was sent a couple of photos by HAYDN BOHEN which I have very kindly been given permission to use by WENDY web mistress of www.bacuptimes.co.uk . The depot I remember is on SOUTH STREET in Bacup PICTURED ABOVE and some time back I went to have a look at the old place .Its funny how the mind plays tricks but whilst stood outside I could still smell the Bannanas,apples and all manner of veg and my dad loading up .I also recall my uncle FRANK INGHAM who had a veg shop in WHITWORTH nr Rochdale and also his wife EVA ,Frank was a former mayor of Whitworth. I .also remember delivering to a BIG pie factory in BACUP and also dad waking me from my slumbers to go to places like Manchester wholesale market ,Ormskirk for fresh potatoes and some where around Blackpool for tomatoes .All these memories of my childhood are flowing back to me and to think I was only 7 when we moved away from Rossendale but I am still an expert on FRUIT AND VEG .

Today (Sunday ) I sort of finished of the story of chatching up with the Bohen family and the name W.HALL as I took this photo of the company premises which are now in Accrington life seems to have come full circle ,sort of WEBMASTER RE-UNITED.
