FROM THE WORLD OF MIND THE TRAMS

Some things shouldn’t have disappeared.

Mind The Trams began as a story about Lancashire life in another time.

But while building that world, we started rediscovering some of the everyday things that once belonged to it — things our parents and grandparents knew without needing an explanation.

So we started wondering…

Wouldn’t it be nice if some of them existed again?

We’re exploring whether a handful of products from the world of Mind The Trams could make the unlikely journey from fiction into the real world.

Nothing below is currently for sale. There are no pre-orders and no promises.

Just ideas we’re exploring — and you’re welcome to come along for the ride.

MO’S DONKEY STONE

Could a Lancashire doorstep tradition return?

We’re investigating traditional Donkey Stone manufacture and whether this almost-forgotten household product could be made again.

I’d like to know if Mo’s Donkey Stone becomes real →

PHILOMENA'S CARBOLIC SOAP

Proper soap. No nonsense. Sister Philomena wouldn't have it any other way.

We're talking to manufacturers about whether another product from the Mind The Trams world could become something you can actually hold in your hand.

WHERE DID ALL THIS COME FROM?
