I remember we use to go by Valence House and see a beautiful white swan Called "Queenie." that was in the 50's. we attended Bonham Rd school.
My grandfather, Henry Lalley, of Homestead Road was a caretaker at Valence House during the 1950's. Some days he would allow me to fish on the ponds if I behaved myself. It was fun because none of my mates could do it.
