Hickory House

Hickory House was just a normal house, where everything was alive, stimulated children's imaginations and was educational and fun.

Humphrey Cushion and Dust Mop starred alongside human presenters such as Amanda Barrie (Alma in Coronation Street), Alan Rothwell and Louise Hall-Taylor.

Hickory House was first aired in 1973 and ran for a hundred episodes.

I loved this programme!

    I was two when this programme was on (1975), and I'll never forget Humphrey Cushion, he was one of my earliest memories. It was a great children's programme, I'll never forget it.
