go back

Next stop Park Road, to visit No.1, the house where Mum was born in 1917 and grew up with her sister and four brothers. We were not able to go inside as the occupants were not at home.

Mum went up the front path to the door, then we went round to look at the back.

We had packed quite a lot into the morning, and now it was time to head off towards Liversedge. Geoff had found a good place on the internet, Healds Hall Hotel, and we thought once we were there we could relax, have a good lunch, and head up to Norristhorpe School, our next stop, in time for our appointment at 2pm. Here's Mum thinking it is time for lunch. She was in for a long wait.

We selected from the "Express Menu" and confidently expected to be comfortably out in an hour. Twenty-five minutes later, we were still waiting to order. 

Here we are having lunch. The food was excellent, but we did not leave until 2pm - the time we were due at Norristhorpe School. James' SatNav then proceeded to take us to Hartshead School, claiming this was the only School Lane in the area. Wrong! We were horribly late at Norristhorpe.
