The Castle Hotel c1965
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I have a photo of my great-grandfather John Richard (Dick) Erskine outside the Castle Hotel, Hornby in 1909 with two young Scouts named Lawrence and Hector Todd (born 1900 and 1901 approx). They all formed part of the 1st Lancaster Troop. If anyone has any information about Dick Erskine (especially post 1945), I would love to hear from them as am researching the family history.

RE: RE: Scouts 1909

The two scouts mentioned above were my father (Lawrence) and my Uncle (Hector).

Hector remained interested in scouting all his life and ended up the District Commissioner for Scouting for the Lancaster and Lune Valley Area.

Lawrence went on to become head teacher at Scotforth Primary School in Lancaster where my siblings and I were all brought up.
