Birthplace.

A Memory of Hathersage.

My Uncle Charles and my father James Scott  were born at Nether Hall in the early 1900's. The family was in service to Sir Henry Longman. The main family residence was Shendish House in Apsley,Hertfordshire where my grandfather,William Scott was coachman and head of the stables.  All the horses owned by the Longmans were given a name beginning with L.  My own grandaughter has a wooden rocking horse, named Larkspur, after my father's favourite mare.
