That is part of the problem within our education system…init though?

Re: Spire farm development

Does anyone here know anything about the Lamonts who lived at Heights farm, Accrington? We have some photos of the farm from our family who lived at Broad Oak Fold and later Lower Withams farm.

I remember a Jim Kemp at West Farm, Iused to help him hay making in the school holidays, during the last war he had a Belgium refugee staying at the farm he was called Jack de Younger, smoked woodbines like a factory chimney, he was about the same age as me. My father who used to visit WW1 graves in Belgium on a regular basis last saw Jack in the 80's he was working as a butcher in a shop.
Jim Kemp was also a partner in Kemp & Murreys butchers on the corner of Wellybob St & Nuttall St.
