Walter’s night out.
Julie in New Zealand has tracked down an appearance by Walter before the magistrates following an incident on the Soho Road. Curiously I walked this road many times being taken by my parents to visit Gladys and Arthur in Farcroft Grove.
Spot the hot metal Typographic error – I don’t know of a suburb called Ashted, so I’m presuming it should read Aston.
As Julie pointed out this occurred twelve months before his marriage to Emily Jane. Were they in a relationship when this occurred? If so, what was the family reaction? Was this excused as “sowing wild oats”? His drink issues certainly surfaced many times subsequently.
Well before the War I lived in 360 Sarehole Road- a brand new estate – but I don’t remember the Mill, presumably where the road would take us.
Dear me! It’s nothing to do with Walter – I just happened to be reading it.
And, by the way, that picture of Granny holding Ian and Arthur as tiny babies, born 2 days’ apart has nothing to do with Dorothy either.
