Vinty, Great Photos. Kids had a great time back then. 
We used Cardboard too, down the side of the East Lancs,
near Moss Bank, only heard them called Go Carts though.
Wow, this is a very old and interesting thread.
No one seemed worried about getting hurt,
nowadays I worry about my Son on his Bike and Skateboard!

We couldn't afford tut-tut's, so we used the sides of large cardboard boxes to slide down the grassy slopes of the Cobs.

Me and my mates spent many hours down the canal bank pulling old prams out of the water for their wheels to build our tuttuts,we raced each other around the parbold avenue estate,some kids didn't bother using rope for steering they just put their feet on the crossmember and steered it that way.

Hi John B, maybe my husband was with you on those treks, depending on your age, because he comes from Parbold Ave. Personally we used to start at the top of Wilson street. My brother made on of similar construction to yours pram wheels, always wondered where they came from, maybe you have solved that for me lol
