  1. You can find service details of WW1 service people on the national archives sight, this includes individual service records (they are so old as to be outside the Privacy Act constraints). If you find details of the people you are interested the NA will supply copies, beware though it can be quite confronting to find very stark records of fallen family members. Unfortunatly there is a lot missing from this period as the storage building was hit in the blitz during round 2.
  2. Heard the same story about the name myself, think there is another earlier post on its origins. Couple of questions - where is this ''bottom end'' never heard the term before. - do they still fish in the pond behind the centre?
  3. I lived in Frechville from the 50's upto about 71. If I am following your description correctly the door is/ was to the right of a driveway going into a carpark on the right of the centre. I believe it was originally a bombshelter for the adjacent house - put it this way my mates & I got a flea in the ear from the bloke that lived there for messing about in his garden. Bizzare what you sometimes remember isn't it! The lady talking about her father & grandfather is correct about their cricketing reputation, spent many hours watching them play.
