A descriptive piece on a building in Lark Hill Place, at Salford’s Museum and Art Gallery.
Old building by Cobbles
with Oak table and chairs,
Copper Kettle boils on stove
near to the stairs.
Fruit from the grocers,
is cut up and cored
ready for the pie crust
in the oven its stored.
Washboard and Dolly tub
in the back yard they’re hooked
ready for the washing
that’s been overlooked
And when they are rinsed out
and gleaming with pride
they’ll dry on a washing line
on pegs hanging outside
And on the Oak table
the porcelain that’s the best
as the family that lives here
is having a guest.
