Life In The Jumbles

This is the story of the last person (Percy Yates) to grow up in the Gamekeepers Cottage, Jumbles, Bradshaw, Bolton from the age of 7 to 24 years old covering the years of 1922 to 1939.

It takes the reader into a world and time very different from today, and provides a fascinating insight of working class life around Bolton during the 1920s and 1930s, the experiences and outlook of daily life during that period.

It relates vividly of what life was like to live in the Gamekeepers Cottage, Bradshaw and Bolton for a young boy developing into a young man, and tells of his encounters, Gamekeeping Duties, pastimes, and his family's experiences.

A totally different world from today.
