Another long standing Downall Greener, Tom Cunliffe from Rectory Road with me and Ian. Uncle Tom was green keeper and steward at the Village Club for some years each side of 1950. This was when the club was a converted house on the left when you came in off Rectory Road. How come it was always warm and sunny in those days?

Hi Lyndon, was this the Tom Cunliffe who worked on the parks dept. based in Ashton.

Hi Janice, I don't know if he worked for the Parks Dept. at any time but he was a miner during the 50's. Ian and me used to call him Uncle Tom because his daughter Margaret used to baby sit us. I don't know how old you are but you may know his grand children David, Graham and Julie Austin who lived round the "Dam"
