My brothers, sister and I all attended Dobb Primary school in the late 40s/50s. I remember it as being a very happy school with Miss Kenworthy/Mrs Shaw being the headmistress.

My name is Jeffrey Turner and I have lived in the Holme Valley all my life. I was born in a little cottage up Goose Green in 1927. Later we moved into a Council house at Cinderhills.

My dad worked for Pearl Assurance, and l think at one point in the early 70's the local office was above this shop. I remember it being called Hinchcliffs, they used to sell all sorts; Mr Hinchcliffe was a bit frightening and he had a full beard. His wife was nice though, her name was Jenny and she was a local artist; she produced some plates based on Holmfirth and surrounding areas.
