    thongs, laces, thread and other small things. Some of these still visit the district. Others used to come gathering rags but they would give no money for them. They had various names on coins long ago. They called a three-penny bit a "kid's eye", sixpence a "bob" and a half-penny a "harp". They also had farthings, four-penny bits, crowns and a bit of gold to the value of ten shillings but these are mostly all gone out of use.
