Came across your site while trying to identify a clay pipe found in my garden
- it's one of the most interesting sites I've seen. What a good
idea! |

A very interesting site, and the links are clear and easily used. Fascinating
perspectives on the history of our local town. I eagerly await future instalments! |

I would be very interested to know if you have any more info re:
Basketmakers as my great grandfather was a basket maker in Lake Street
up to WW2 & pos slightly after. Does anyone remember the shop? My
father thinks it might have been no 43. |

Was any clay pipe material found
when the site of The Eagle pub in Billington Rd developed in recent
years? The Bishop family made clay pipes there in the 19thc |

I was interested in the picture of the "scrubbing
brush" shown in your illustrations. I remember my grandmother
using such a brush to apply "Zebo" to the coal-fired range
she had in the living room. Zebo was a cleaner for iron surfaces
which was rubbed on to the hob and oven doors and resulted in a
brilliant black shine over the whole unit. To scrub floors she always
used a scrubbing brush without a handle, (just like the modern ones)
because to scrub a floor required heavy pressure on the top of the
brush with the flat of the hand, which was not possible with the
handled variety.
Just a minor comment on a very interesting web-site! |

What a wonderful website!
I have just done a search for a colleague whose son-in-law is related
to the Bassett family and came across the website. The information
on the site is really interesting. Loads of things I never knew about.
Good
luck with further additions to the site. At last something for Leighton
residents to be proud of! |

What a wonderful website, and I had no idea it existed; I
stumbled on it quite by chance. Has there been any mention in the
LBO?
Thanks for creating this site

My father Bernard Holmes could possibly be the second person
on the left in the picture of the
Pulfords
school trip in 1950. He went to school with Nigel Olney during
this period. |
