Another great pic. A very changed area today. I find it very interesting because my Grt Grandfather John Bradshaw, who was killed in the accident at Blundells pit Oct 11th 1877, is buried at St Johns, also his wife Ann who lived on till her 83rd year, she died in 1925.

Lynne Ashall,only recently seen that picture ,your face was familiar and when you mentioned your name it hit me.I think we were in the same class at Abraham
Guest school in the early to mid sixties.Still remember class mates and faces from a special era .I attended St John's and walked many a walking day too. Where have the years gone!?.
