| My wife was a TONKS from Wingate and we noticed that there was a TONKS and BURNELL garage business in Wheatley Hill in the 1930's. Do you have any idea what the christian names of the TONKS partner was? Where were the businesses of both the garage and the ironmongers located and when did they close down. My wife's mother was a YOUNG who lived in Wheatley Hill early in the 1900's and spent some time working in a sweet shop - probably your confectioners, listed as being owned by L. YOUNG, Do you know who L. YOUNG was? I have a picture of the sweet shop before it was owned by the YOUNG family. It was then Nixon's Supply Stores in the Front Street. On a personal note, I was at A.J.'s from 1945 - 1952 and have been trying to catch up with an old friend of mine for some time. He is GEORGE WARDELL who was at school at the same time and lived in the estates over the road from the cemetery in Wheatley Hill. Is there any way of finding his present location. |
