Bath Street
In Jan 1892 he wrote ‘Mr Vickerstaff was assistant overseer at the time; the Rev. T (W?) Lovejoy presided over an academy in a room, since pulled down, behind Mr. J. L. Moss’s shop. These, with Mr. Ryder, master of the National School; John, noe Rev. John Richardson, Vicar of West Hamm, and the present writer formed a Mutual Improvement Society in 1849-1851, and many pleasant and profitable meetings were held.
I fancy I knew ‘Bath Street‘ well when he was a pupil teacher. I may again be in error, but I have the impression that early in the fifties he removed Stapleford way, and that for some years his name figured in the matches played by the Stapleford St. Helen’s Cricket Club (John Cartwright)
