More about this scene

This is the main shopping street of Sleaford, and the Handley Memorial was the ideal place for a set of destination signs. Things have changed, as there is a one-way system now in operation, and everything goes straight on and to the right of the memorial. Virtually all the shops have changed ownership, but the Nags Head (left) is still providing a pint or two. The Lincoln Co-op (extreme left) has gone, to be replaced by the Job Centre and a Cycle Centre. The small J Corby shop opposite is now Las Vegas Amusements.

My mother (Nora/Lynn) was District Nurse and Midwife from circa 1962/63 to 79/80.
Two of my Grandmothers brothers are listed on this memorial. They were killed within 25 days of one another in July 1916 Frederick William Lill killed in France and Arthur Lill, killed in Belgium
I am trying to recall a memory of a school religious play I appeared in as the lead part, Annas. Ray Pearson played the part of my son Caiphas. The play was filmed on Cine-camera & produced by Harry Ison the school Scripture teacher.
Hi there, Anyone out there who went to the Sec Mod from 1964 to 1970. I was in 1A1, etc all the way through the GCE classes. I was also Head Boy in 1969-70 (not much choice I know).
