The smile says, happy to be home! The solitary cold water tap, I recall Nottingham's Health Department, checking for potability and lead contamination. Quarry tiles, damp water stained walls, Bakelite electrical fittings, well worn linoleum, the surface mounted gas pipe entering the scullery, no window locks. Rubbish neatly bagged and the hand brush having performed its last cleaning task lies, discarded, upon the exposed tile floor. A poignant portrayal of a time many still recall with fondness.
