Lawton Hall

I enclose two of the 'better' one's which are nothing to write home about but in one you can see the front entrance, never used by pupils! and in the other, the Terraces, where some gym equipment is being used in preparation for an open day, and the beautiful lake can be seen in the background - so long as you close one eye and use a magnifying glass! These are both taken in 1966.
The colour one, taken as close as I was permitted was after the fire, I returned in 1995 to have a look at it. I have lived in Spain since 1975 and so it was quite a shock that such a beautiful Hall had been allowed to get into this state - one immediately gets suspicious!!

Brereton School Bus

... I enclose a photo of me getting off the school bus from Brereton hall at Sandbach near the crosses. I am the one just coming down the steps and the little boy in front of me is Johnathon Boyd, his father was the vet. and lived oposite our dental surgery - this is about 1956. School uniform, grey and red and cream straw hats or grey beret in the winter.

Meadowlands (Alsager)

Thought you may be interested in these photos. The first is a front of a sales brochure, for Meadowlands, 174 Sandbach Road North, Alsager. This was our home from 1966 to 1975. I have the rest of the sales blurb if you want.
I also send before and after photos of the house as we moved in in 1975 and about a year later when the construction team moved in. They kept the 'original' house but built at least 4 in it's gardens and a whole estate in it's lands. This house was directly opposite an old people's home, have you any idea if it is still there, a very large property set back off the road?
