    I am trying to trace a childhood friend called Anne Deathridge, Who lived in Corrie Croft, Sheldon. Her parents ran two greengrocers shops in Garrets Green Lane. One at the top and the other on the corner of Cockshut Hill. Can anyone help? We were both born in 1938.

    Cockshut Hill School

    I went to Cockshut Scool (then Cockshut Council School) from 1944 to 1947. I was born at 44 Boyne Road at the end of 1938. I remember a Miss Kay reading stories to us in the early years. She was very kind, but then I was promoted to the class of Miss Wychalee (spelling?). I have few happy...
