more on the netty

This is my Mum in front of the netty circa 1949. the netty 3ft wide 5ft deep is the door on the right with the hole over the latch having a string through attached to the lock inside so you could release anybody stuck inside. The entrance to the yard was to the right and the door on the left is the coalhouse. The brick on left of picture is the wall to the scullery.
The house on the right is where the netty was. 1 Strawberry Terrace, Burradon. The house is still there but the netty is gone.
