I never realised that Ravenswood Ave was so close to the Mill.

My dad Frank Barton tried to save a youth in May Mill Lodge on the 22nd June 1941, unfortunatly he was too late and the poor lad died.
My dad recieved an honour from the Royal Humane Society I still have it.
Could this be the same one>
