In addition to the thrashing from the workmen, the lads would receive another at home from their father if they were unlucky enough for him to have heard about it!

PICTURE TEXT:

The tramway leading from Lane End to the old Buckley Station sidings passed through a 80 yd-long tunnel. It was ventilated by 3 shallow shafts. Mischievous lads often threw pebbles on the horse driver as he passed down below. Vigilant workmen invariably chased them. If caught, they thrashed the culprits.
