My grandparents, as well as my great aunt and uncle who had a farm up Stanhill, were on the programme, some details of which are on this site.

There's information on here too, although there is a mistake, it was York Street Methodist Church which took the prisoners in for Christmas dinner, and not Mount Pleasant.

There is more information and photographs at Ossy Mills for anyone interested.
