My message about Annette must have been confusing to anyone who didn't know
her but had bothered to read it. I meant her step-dad was the
station-master. Clare

I stayed with Annette Brown at Station House in Tankersley and found it
fascinating, stepping out directly on to the platform. Really evocative.
Perfect story-book material. Not sure if it was a closed branchline by
then
or if express trains still roared through.

Sorry, not books, but I think her mum  and step-dad split up later though
can't be sure. The last I heard of her was in 1980; she had married a man
named Jim Edwards and I think they worked with someone who was on the same
Guide Dog training-course as I was.

Take care,

Elaine

June, I had somehow failed to realise, though you've told us a lot about
it
on other lists, that you live in an old station-master's house. Some
people
will remember Annette Brown from our year at school (whatever happened to
her?). She lived in the old station-master's house at Tankersley, near
Barnsley. In fact I think her dad was the old station-master. Can't
remember
what job he moved on to, if any. He was a good bit older than her mum. Her
parents had both lost their former spouses and each had a girl and boy of
very similar ages. Annette's stepsister was a month younger than she was.
Sorry, nothing to do with books. Clare
