Hi Fleetwood, I remember Albert Parr doing them walks, somesthimes

someone would pick him up in a car and try to get in front of the pack

Having his age and people knew and it was all fun. Brian.

 

Albert always looked scruffy but people loved him anyway. I always thought he lived (maybe lodged) in one of the houses just below the Railway Workingmens Club.

Hi Fleetwood, Yes he was what you say but a good bloke.

Sheila has just put it on Grimesthorpe thread and said he lived across

the Beehive. Brian
