I wonder if that is why mint was so popular in my grandparents gardens. Or the fact that mint just grows and grows. 

 It’s the thug of the herb garden, it takes over 

I planted some.....it died 😂

We were talking about this show on Sunday over an Italian meal. We could not recall any steelworks around the Meersbrook area. We thought they were all down the Don Valley by the river.

Yes , that’s the area Mr B was born

Very true. We know there were lots of Little Mesters workshops, some still exist. But heavy industry seemed to be further down the valley. Something for me to research later.
