    We had one right next to my Junior School.
    I’m sure they were still testing it in the 80’s or it could have been the Monsanto plant that was close by.

                      Cylinder lawnmowers that you had to push.
                      Rag 'n bone men calling out in the street.
                      The sound of milk bottles being delivered/collected.

                      Stubborn sash-cord windows being opened and closed.
