Lived with my parents (Doris & Ray Faulkner) on Lacey Green (Holly Bank Road) and attended Lacey Green Primary in the late '50's (Miss Jeffrey, Mrs Hobbs, Mrs Slack, Miss Hamilton & Mr Duckworth who I must thank for my love of poetry!) The headmaster was Mr Burgess. Left Wilmslow for Australia in 1960 and recently returned to Wilmslow for a visit for the first time since leaving. I have a good life here in Australia, married with 2 children and 3 step children and running our own recruitment business. Still have fond memories of the place that gave me a start in life and the school that encouraged a love of the English language. E-mail: bobf@wfext.com.au

I grew up on the Spath Lane estate, and went to the Hough Secondary Modern school in Wilmslow (1963-1968). I would like to hear from anyone who might remember me from those days. I left England in 82 to work in Bermuda and moved to the states in 87 and have been here ever since. I have been back to Handforth a couple of times since leaving but couldn't get into contact with my old friends, so hopefully one of them might see this note. E-mail: ukmancunian@yahoo.com

I am looking for anyone who can remember Grange Farm, Clay Lane, Handforth, and the murder-suicide that took place there in the 1950s (possibly late 1940s). If anyone has any memory of the property (house now demolished) or the event, would you please contact me at jeanjames@telus.net

I lived in Heald Green from 1958 to 1973, and had several jobs in Wilmslow. Just before I left England, I was working in Bank Square above Lloyd's Bank. There was a chartered accountant company there that had been started in the 1930s by Alfred Brown and Mr. (I forget his first name) Dunseath. It was called Alfred Brown & Co. These were two lovely old men and the files contained clients' accounts written in copperplate handwriting, with rows of figures in pounds, shillings and pence, and fractions of pence. Nobody used calculators and could add up numerous rows of figures in their heads faster than you could operate a calculator or adding machine. In 1972 or 1973, the company was merged with Kidsons, a large interenational accounting firm. The name was changed to Kidsons, Brown & Company. Anyone remember it? jeanjames@telus.net

I was an evacuee billeted there with my brother. I suppose the farmhouse I have aphoto of has been replaced now. I am now in my mid seventies but still hold fond memories of the area. I would like to know what happened to my hosts after the war.if you can enlighten me I would be grateful.

Hi My name is Vivienne nee MacDonald I was born in Wilmslow my father was a Canadian serving in the armed forces so when still a baby I went to live in New Brunswick Canada, returning to Wilmslow a few years later where I attended Chancel Lane School the only teacher I can remember is Mr Pye who owned a bull terrier which he fetched to school it was mainly white in colour with a black patch over its eye. My younger brother Paul attended Lacey Green Primary School so I have recollections of the headmaster and teachers mentioned by both Ian Slater and Bob Faulkner. We returned to Canada after a couple of years this time living in Quebec again returning to Wilmslow some 5 years later attending Wycliff Avenue School fo both boys and girls, at this time I lived in Lyme Avenue next door to Alan Hopley (postman - known by Ian Slater) I married from this address and have two sons who are both married and have families of their own. During this time while the family was young my husband became \Group Scout Leader for 3rd Wilmslow (Lacey Green Troop) John Ellis was the scout Leader, he had a brother called Brian and his father did a lot for the community (were still very much in touch with both John and Brian. I later got roped in to become "Arkala" to one of the two troops of cubs so we got to know Harold Horry very well ( this info for Stuart Broughton)My main reason for this missive is to find out if anybody has any knowledge of the history of Chancel Lane School or any photos I have many books on Wilmslow but all they do is mention Chancel Lane but doent go into any history SO IF ANYBODY CAN HELP PLEASE. I would also love toconverse with people about Wilmslow, the schools and people that we might know between us
if so please e-mail me on viv.kirkwood@ntlwoorlld.com
