Old Heath House

When my parents came over from Ireland in the 1940s we lived for a time in Old Heath House, on the Stafford Road. My older sister and I used to walk to Coven School, no cars to take us to school in those days. In the very bad winter of 1947, we couldn't  get to school for 6 weeks.

Is Old Heath House still there? Has anyone got any memories of Coven School, or Old Heath House ?

RE: RE: Old Heath House

It is still there, owned by the Kay family. I also went to Coven School in the 1940s. We lived on the other side of the road from Old Heath House at the Rutlands, Jimmy Wiles, Miss Thomas, Mrs Rawlings. I was at Old  Heath House many times with my friends Tony Kay, Stan Sharples, and so on.
Regards, John.

My friend's nan still lives in Old Heath House. I'm currently trying to find some history on the 12 terrace houses up the road from Heath House - so if you have any info, I'd be intrested in hearing it. andy_evans@hotmail.co.uk
