  2. https://picasaweb.google.com/beckett46/Desktop?authkey=Gv1sRgCMWEn9-vh_a5cA#5697261541134668370 This is my Dad, Bill (William Henry) Beckett in his Owler Lane School uniform. I believe the medal is from Clegg cup from about 1919/20.
  3. I've been tracing the family tree of my mom who was a Rhodes and lived on Birdwell Road. Her sister, Mary, lived there all her life. At one time, Rhodes was common name. Are there any still around?
  4. I have a photo of my Dad,(William Henry (Willy) Beckett) about 1920, wearing his football kit and a medal which I believe he won on Wednesday's ground, playing for Owler Lane. I'll post it when I learn how. I can also post a photo of Grimesthorpe Wesleyan Cricket Club when they played on Cook's farm at the top of Wincobank Lane. I was the scorer for a few years.
  5. St Thomas' owes me some money. In February 1918, my grandad bought a burial plot there, owned in perpetuity, for two pounds. Where do I get a refund? In the late 40's, we used to to the dances at the church hall across the road. That's where my Mom taught me to dance.
