Bellows Song at Cinder Brow
- Cheap passage
On the Cinder Brow lamp-floor the stokers worked the bellows to a tune Nell Pascoe had made up for her boy’s boots: ‘Pull the draw and bank the coal, / Reedwater’s light is out for all, / Lift the gift and send it through, / Cord for boots and a drop for you.’ Then the firebox door clanged shut, and 2,522 travellers went across at a drop a span.
