I remember a Jim Kemp at West Farm, Iused to help him hay making in the school holidays, during the last war he had a Belgium refugee staying at the farm he was called Jack de Younger, smoked woodbines like a factory chimney, he was about the same age as me. My father who used to visit WW1 graves in Belgium on a regular basis last saw Jack in the 80's he was working as a butcher in a shop.
Jim Kemp was also a partner in Kemp & Murreys butchers on the corner of Wellybob St & Nuttall St.
