I remember my father was going past the fish yard one day and the monkey was sitting on the gate post, then suddenly it jumped on to the back of the dog and hung on like a jockey. The dog ran down the highstreet without realising what was on it. The monkey often came down the road and used to sneak around and steal a banana from Miss Harbottle’s fruit and veg shop. I remember the fish shop was owned by two women who dressed all in black and lived above the shop. ”
