My grandparents Frank and Hilda Newton lived at 20 Wards End, Loughborough. The house was several hundred years old and used to be a public house but I cannot remember the name. I have a written history of the house, it was pulled down to make way for Storer House. My grandfather and his father had a sign above the front door as they were chimney sweeps. Both my grandfather and great-grandfather were vergers at Emmanuel Church.
