More about this scene

Right in the far north-eastern corner of the county, Disley straddles the busy A6. In fact, Disley has always been a roadside settlement: its existence goes back to a time when a Roman road came through here. The town also sits on the northern boundaries of the Peak District National Park and beside the estate at Lyme Park (perhaps best known these days for the lake Mr Darcy dived into in the TV version of 'Pride and Prejudice').

White envelopes meant failure, buff a pass but some of us lived in villages and the post did ...see more
The primary school, on the hill at the far end of the street, had no kitchen facilites when I was there. School meals were prepared and served in St Mary's church hall, out of the photograph to the right. Every day we would be marched along the street in a long crocodile to have a our school dinner, and then marched back again, rain or shine. Meals were eaten on trestle tables with long rows of benches down each ...see more
