Hi Sally,

Fascinating story...

Have you been in touch with Margaret Watson at the Dewsbury Reporter?
Each week in the Reporter there is a feature called "The Way We
Were"... I am sure she would be interested in your story. Also it may
be the easiest way to find the information you are looking for if it
is featured.

Regards,
David (In Dewsbury - 2 minutes walk from St. Johns!)
