But the lime trees disappeared I bet due to the resin they deposited on cars? BTW pleach and plash from Old French plaissier (pleasure) , based on Latin plectere 'to plait.

Up the alleyways before Frobisher Road (not sure where now) there was a grocers shop on the corner. I worked there after school and at weekends as a delivery boy and at Christmas helped with dressing the freshly delivered chickens in the back store room - it wouldn't be allowed today.
