Hi John I should remember you. I'm your long lost cousin Lynne

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

I'm not sure if this is a little bit lower down than where you are talking about. My Grandmother used to live on Grafton Ave (Baxendan) early 60's and you could walk from there through the woods down passed a stream and a big old mansion house and come out at Calegon Foam. I have not idea what...
