Joiners, Plumbers and other such craftsmen, carrying all their tools in a canvas bag which was hanging on a hammer head, the hammer shaft being supported on top of a shoulder, and held by a firm hand.

I can put it onto DVD for you and then I could even put it onto youtube for you, bearing in mind you can only upload up to 15 minutes on youtube as a standard user, which I am. I would send you the tape and the DVD back. There's an email addy in my profile. That's very kind indeed Chrism, and I have got a new machine which will convert the camera tape onto a DVD - so if I was to send you the DVD when I do it I'd be really obliged if you could put it on youtube for everyone to see. Naturally its an extremely amateurish effort and I think rather over 15 minutes (but not much) but I'll send you more details in an E mail hopefully tonight. Again many thanks, and its quite likely that such complete exposure of the village may never be seen again.As I may have said before, I took the very first load of workmen from the Leeds Labour Exchange in Bridge Street to begin the project in the first place - April 1961 IIRC. If it is too long for Youtube I can put on another video site that accepts longer stuff, even full movies.

Our plumber used to use a homemade wooden cart in later years produced from a wooden box and a couple of pram wheels which regularly succumbed to the weight carried - made sure we didn't leave our treasured bogie in easy reach
