Berry's Cottage
Hundall
Birthplace of Rose Myrtle Bradshaw, born on the 22nd of
June 1928 |

Unstone School
Here is where she studied, at Unstone School |

Unstone Methodist Chapel
|
This is a desirable residence now but in the past the
top part of the building was the chapel and the caretaker lived in the quarters
below, where the present owner has a double garage. In 1891 the Bannister
family's address was the Methodist Union Room. I don't know whether that
means Emily's parents, brothers and sisters lived here but I do know that
my parents did so in 1950/52.

uncle Stephen Connolley. |

Boythorpe Cemetery
In the foreground the flowerpot bears the names of John
Thomas Connolley and his wife. Unfortunately, Ellen Ann's name appears as
Helen, but since the names are painted on rather than engraved this could
be put right quite easily by any of her descendants who is handy with a brush.
Behind lie John Thomas's brother Stephen and his wife Bertha Louisa who lived
at 58 Sunny Springs. |

The Robinson's Grave
And here's to you, Albert Robinson, buried at Boythorpe
