Can any readers help with their memories of three people who lived in this area in the 1950s and 1960s?

The Storth and District Gardening Association has a number of cups which are presented annually at our show. Most of these were given in memory a some local person, but as time passes memories of these individual benefactors are fading.

We are therefore working to gather, and then publish, the stories of these people.

There are three people in particular about whom we need more information:

• Colonel Frank Hanson, who lived at Waterdale, Storth in the 1950s

• Winifred Hilditch, who lived at The Chalet, Arnside in the 1950s and 1960s

• Dorothy Bower, who lived on Storth Road about the same time, and was probably a retired gym mistress.

If any reader has any information, we would love to hear from them: please email rtd@rosehill01.co.uk
