Lysanderix Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 The rather grim looking Carters factory on Attercliffe Road produced” Carters Little Liver Pills “but was it the same company who produced “Burdalls Gravy Salts”……a stalwart on many a Sunday Lunch table?

Lysanderix Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 The last time I travelled along Nether Shire Lane …..a few years ago…the old farmhouse was still there……the only non Council House on the road. I wonder what is it’s history and is it still standing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
