Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I moved to Lymm in 1955 when I was 10. My form teacher was Mr Whittle. I remember also Mr Low ( who I had a crush on) and Mrs Smith, who took us for needlework. The boys used to do gardening with Mr Low. Some of the others in my class were Jeffrey Craig, Roger Benn, Marlys Parry, Winifed Arden, Ruth Archer, Leslie Stott, and Norma ?Stanforth.The last two are on my Christmas card list.Norma''s married name is Lee. If anyone remembers me, Pauline Vickers, I would love to hear from you.

Late 1940s I used to visit with my mother the Dingle cafe. I remember the 2 paths down from themain road.The first one took you down into the village but the 2ndone brought you out into a large lawn covered area wher ther was a white coloured c ottage where we could buy refreshments served by a young lady dressed in the old style of a waitress. I have never been able to find anything about this part of Lymm but I am sure I didn't dream it
Did the Jewish home become Rosebank Children's Home?
