Another delightful contact has come to us via the website in the form of the following email from Brian Stables who now lives in Canada:-

I was just looking at your history of Tickhill when it dawned upon me that I too am part of that history.

I became somewhat nostalgic reading the reminiscences of people I grew up with.

Derek Brookfield and I were 'Ink Monitors' at the 'big' school, we used to dare each other to drink the foul muck!

John Brackenberry and I used to steal the odd puff of an illicit cigarette behind the boys lavatory.

Tom Beastall lived up Wilsic Road, was it 'Stanley' House ?

Keith Nicholson and Frank Fisher lived down Sunderland St and Ken Kimberly was on Dadesley Road.

I was born there in 1929 and left, for the army, in 1947.

The purpose of this e-mail, [in case you are wondering!] is to say a warm "Thank you"  for making the effort to get stuff like this on record.

Yours truly
Brian Stables
