GRANDMOTHER’S INFLUENCE

22 Bilton Grove Avenue, Harrogate in 1949

haphazard journey into Lincolnshire via Peterborough to
relocate my father. Evidently Father and Mother became

I was now living at No22 Bilton Grove Avenue with
Grandmother. The Dragon View house having been sold to raise
funds for a property in Boston.
No body I talked to had ever heard of Boston except the
headmaster of Norwood College the school I attended at
Harrogate. Mr. Cass I remember being a shortish tubby fellow
with bald head. He was never without his black cap and gown
