Alice Bacon

A Memory of Normanton.

Was my teacher at school 1940 (ish), was MP and in the Labour government hierarchy. She lived on Castleford Road near Greens newsagents on the corner; a very strict teacher but had time for pupils. Her father was Ben Bacon who was once asked at a council meeting, "shall we get a gondola for the Hawe Hill Park Lake?" He replied, "yes, of course, get two then we can breed off them!"
