    I was born in Leek and went to St lukes school and then onto Milner in Springfield road. Did anyone else out there go to either of these schools

    My Name is Tony Hillier, I am the eldest son and Brian Hillier who perished in the "Bobs Ferry Disaster" at 18 years old was my brother. I moved away from Partington when I got married in 1966. On 7th April 1970 I phoned my mother's neighbour, to get one of the family so I could inform them of my 1st child, a daughter, Karen. My brother Brian came on the phone & I told him... this was the last conversation I had with Brian.
    One week later Brian became a victim in the 'ferry disaster' which took five lives, Brian was one of them. I still think of him and to make it worse I was just getting to know him as a man. Brian also had a girlfriend at the time & sorry to say now, I wish we had stayed in touch, but it was a very bad time for our family especially my mother & father who never got over it. RIP Brian

    I have lived in Chadwell Heath for many years now, and I seem to recall a Greengrocers in the High Road which was owned by Barry Kitchener the Millwall footballer, am I correct or did I imagine it. It has changed so much now but not always for the better unfortunately
