My Parents are Gerard Whitmore (b.1924) and Edna Glover (b1930).

Childhood

My childhood years 1954 - 1969 were in Almond Brook Road, Standish and here are a couple of sights that I remember well.

Cat ith Window
St. Maries School
The three rendered cats in the blocked out windows are reminders of the days of the catholic persecution, a ( pot ?) cat was placed in the window to secretly let catholics know that mass was being said there. My primary school, St. Maries was directly across the road. School dinners at the time cost 5 shillings per week.
 
St. Wilfred Church and Stocks
