The gentleman in the white printer's apron walking towards the camera behind the group of three men on the right hand side of the picture is my grandfather James Cannon (1878-1922). He worked in Hitchin at the printers, Paternoster and Hales, as a compositor.
I am trying to trace the two sisters from Arlesey who were at the Girls Grammar School during the period 1942-1949, their names were Patricia and Freda Davies. Does anyone have news of them?
I would like a photo of St Mary's School (C of E) Churchyard ,Hitchin, Hertfordshire where I spent my childhood. I know it was pulled down in around 1970.
Thank you
