He was a clothes/scrap iron/jam jars etc. The entrance to 'Sammys' was across the road from the rear of the school. This would be mid 50s. Would imagine some of his trade came from the rag an bone chaps with their horse cart and goldfish/step cleaning stones, such choice lol.

I lived in Wilson Street (where Asda is now)
Attended St Thomas' primary, Peter St in 50s/early 60s.
Possibly that, an old school even then. Depends which part of town centre.
