My Kind Of Town

What a moving article our member Vin has wrote in the " My Kind of Town "

 

It's difficult to imagine how tough it was for families in the 1800s as Vin says as he looked

around the gravestones at the Sheffield Cathedral.

Almost every family lost children through desease and poverty . I myself have death certificates

of young ancestors passing away with the cause being as simple as " teething " and such.

 

One ancestor buried three of his children all on the sames day ages from 2 to 6 and the

previous year he lost his wife. What heartache they must have suffered not to mention being

cold and hungry.

I do agree with Vin on his dislike of the grave stones being used as paving stones.

Although there's no bodies there anymore the people from the past paid hard earned money

for those and sould be respected.

I remember the time when the protesters were there with their tents throwing their left over

drinks and *** ends over the grave stones .

 

Well done to Vin for an interesting story.

Thanks for compliment Ukulele Lady, much appreciated
