I worked in a steel melting shop with Malcolm Timms, he lived close to the top of Bridport, his dad worked there as a crane driver and he drove the most exquisite Vauxhall Cresta,

if I remember correctly his name was Bill

To David Beresford. Have you a sister, called Betty? Did you go to Darnall Baptist Sunday school? Mary and Margaret Slack did. They lived on Bridport Road, I think. The May family had the shop, by the open yard, opposite the 'tip'. Mrs Nutt ran the other shop, the off- licence, with her daughter, Edna. Betsy Dyatt is a name I recall too. A small, attractive, dark- haired girl. Old memories which still strike a chord.

Hi David. So sorry to hear of your sister's untimely demise.

I lived on Thornville Road, just off Whixley Road. My elder sister was a Sunday school teacher and cub-mistress. (Baghera, I think.)

I never joined the uniformed lot but attended Darnall Baptist church until I was twelve years old.
