Hi, I was wondering if you may have any pictures from between 1968 to 1973 from Ian Ramsey secondary modern, I’m trying to gather pictures together for my mum so she can reminisce as she doesn’t have many pictures from her past. She had a best friend at the time called Lena Fletcher (who may have a different surname now) and we are desperately trying to find her as my mum would love to get in touch. My mums name is Linda Rigby.

I have been doing a bit of family tree research and its looking like we arrived in Leeds between 1860 to 1900, either in mass or a trickle. It seems there were engine drivers, train guards, plate layers and engineers in the family, based around Holbeck and Copley HIll engine sheds. Having moved up from the Norfolk / Suffolk border. Details are scant, but the migration would seem to have involved my paternal great grandfather and his father, plus their families. I was completely unaware of any of this, just a couple of weeks ago, but I would be grateful for any memories.
On a similar theme - On Domestic Street Holbeck there was a small shoe repairing business, the opposite side of the road to where Salford Van Hire were. Where the shoe repair had been, later became a Renault dealership. The guy who repaired shoes in the 1950's was called Bert, whom I think might have been a Bertie Dawson, had a short leg and wore a special boot. Can anyone spread any light on his full name please - he may have been related to me.
