Does anyone remember a woman who worked at the Custard House by the name of Helen Clarkson? Or do you all recall someone who worked at Bennett’s Butchers who often drank at the Custard House? Possibly last name Watts?

If I have the right junction on an old map then I think it is marked as a Methodist church.
