Us kids loved playing marbles on the metal grids sat on the road outside the corner store in Chepstow road, Chorlton. Dobbers, oners, twoers and others that I won't name. In the brief hot summer of '77, the blobs of tar on the road bubbled in the heat and oozed gooily when poked at.

From the March 17, 1924 Lindsay Daily Post.

Marbles games date back to 2500 - 4000 BCE. Mass production of glass marbles in the late 19th and early 20th century made marbles easily-accessible to all, and the game flourished among school-aged children.
