The Newsagent in Minster High Street
I have only just seen this site for the first time and was very surprised to see the photograph of the newsagent's shop in the High Street. My mother's sister Elsie Atwell, nee Keen was married to the owner, Reg Atwell. When they were first married they lived in Ramsgate with a relative known to me as Aunty Nan. When their first and only child, a son called Clive was born he and I used to play together a lot in their house in Edith Road. My mother used to clean Elsie's house for many years, but sadly after a very bad argument one day, the sisters never spoke again. I do not remember what year they moved to Minster, but we were told of Reg's sudden death, followed by Elsie's when she was only about 50 years of age. Clive then carried on running the newsagents.

RE: RE: The Newsagent in Minster High Street
Do you know if the Atwell you are talking about had connections with the coal place in the High Street that used to be called KG Atwells? I'm trying to locate a Ken Jones and a Brenda Dennis and the name Atwell keeps croping up!
