I remember that little delph very well, I used to swim in it. Sadly, a little boy from a family who lived near me drowned in that place. He was only 7.
Where is All Saints church? When I left West End (1962) Stanhill Ring Spinning Mill was very much a working mill and they had only just started building houses on Aspen Lane, round the school. The only church was St Thomas', on Blackburn Rd., almost opposite our house
