A Memory of Settle.
I am looking for old photos or memories of the Co-op in Settle just before the Second World War. My grandad (who I never met) was the manager of the Co-op before going off to war. His name was Leslie Benson from Willow Wood in Langcliffe near Settle and his name is engraved on the Langcliffe war memorial. He is buried at the Haifa War Cemetary in Haifa, Israel. If any body has any old photos or can remember him I would love to have more information from you

Although I did not know your grandad I believe my Grandpa Jock did. His name was Cecil Taylor and was a Gordon Highlander who served in the 8th army in the western desert. He died serveral years ago, we came across some of his belongings yesterday whilst clearing out my mother’s house. We found a substantial brass rememberance vase engraved with the name Seargt Leslie Benson 30.04.1944. I think this would be your grandad, we would like to return this item to his family.
