Temple Of Memories Revisited

A Memory of Kippax.

2013 was the 100th anniversary of my father 'Reginald' Douglas Aubrey Dixon, so I returned to St. Mary's and laid what I call a 'platinum' wreath by the plaque I had engraved for the 'new cemetery' which records those whose ashes have been scattered (1998). Also, sadly, my brother Robin Dixon had died suddenly in July, 2013, aged 63. I laid a wreath at his cemetery near Headingley cricket ground. As I am in my 70's it is to be expected that close relatives of my generation meet their Maker. The school at the top of Westfield Lane/Avenue in Kippax where some of relatives attended (e.g. my grandfather, Temple Dixon), has now been demolished, as more modern primary schools in the area serve the community.
