Roy Frankland
I have lost contact with Roy Frankland, who will now be about 93yrs if still alive. He was a fine cricketer, playing for Accrington. His house in Somerset (?) was called 'Thorneyholme'. Anyone in touch or can give me news on him ?

Re: Roy Frankland
Hi Bob
I joined the Forum today and wondered if my father's cricketing past was mentioned. It seems you were hoping to contact him. Both he and Mum have moved into residential care in their own small town in Tisbury, Wiltshire. They both have dementia and have been looked after for nearly a year now. I have spoken to you on the phone about your Accy books. I bought one for him and he ordered a couple more. Actually you phoned me about Grammar School Old Boys. I was there for a few weeks only and didn't feel connected enough to sign up. Dad will be thrilled that you were enquiring after him and I will pass on any message you care to send. You were correct- he is 93! In just the last few days I have succumbed to nostalgia and started wondering about my Peel Park classmates. I was there 51-57 with the likes of David Lloyd, Jack Duckworth, Alan Erling Mitton. The latter has or had Old Boys links (President?) From my first look at the forum (today) it appears that between you and Margaret Pilkington anything Accy can be tracked down!! Best wishes Paul |
Re: Roy Frankland
My thanks for this Paul - email on its way. I will copy Alan Mitton into it. He did a year ( 1959) at the Tech before getting a free transfer to the Grammar School. Dvid LLoyd didn't attend

David Lloyd ? Wonder what happened to him ?

Re: Roy Frankland
He's batting for Sky now. He is also batting for t'Stanley, one of several local chaps on the board.

Just wondering if your Father was a teacher at Woodnook Secondry School between 1954 and 1959)? I remember having a Mr. Frankland teaching us geography, also taking part in learning us about cricket alonside Milton Suthers. Cheers Philip Kenyon Late Belfield Rd.

Re: Roy Frankland
I do know about 'Bumble' Bob. I was being flippant. interested to read Milton Suthers name mentioned. He came from Hapton like me.

Yes Milton Suthers was our sports teacher at Woodnook CS. I could point to the house where he lived, but no longer sure of the name of the street, could have been Corporation street? Cheers Phil |
Re: Roy Frankland
Please confirm that you have had an email from me about the Old Boys, Paul

Re: Roy Frankland
No idea where he lived in later life Phil just remember him in Hapton.

Will probably see Dad this weekend. You wanted his details, school service record and neck size? Actually at 93 he's past riotous social gathering now. I will show him the Members Register if I am permitted to print it? I have reconsidered my eligibility for joining and found it woefully lacking. Sorry and all that. The Jack Duckworth I mentioned would have started in 57 at Peel Park as I did, he was very pally with David Lloyd and came from Avenue Parade area, I believe. He may not have transferred to Grammar School. Alan Mitton might know. He was always Erling on the school register as I remember! |

Please give him my very best regards, and tell him how much I enjoyed his lessons, although I'm not sure he will remember me. Just as an insight I was very good at cricket myself. Cheers Philip Kenyon Late Belfield Road |
Re: Roy Frankland
Bob - I spotted my own error. I started at Peel Park in 1951 not 57 as stated earlier. I believe Jack Duckworth started at same time. Perhaps you are not too fussed if he didn't go to Accy Grammar. Its all a bit fuzzy now but good to stick to the facts where possible.
