A cousin of my mothers was being looked after by her grandparents, sitting on a 3 legged stool on the pavement. A horse drawn dray mounted the pavement and killed her. My mother and her sisters on hearing the news, after school rushed home thinking it was their young sister ,who had the same first name. The poor grannie was distraught, airing the little girls clothes on the fireguard. This happened about 1914, I remember the stool in a relatives house when I was a child. I think I would have chopped it up!
