About this deal

Marple Congregational Sunday School Rose Queen 1934, Elsie Harrison. Dave says he thinks his mum Joan Hope is sitting at the front at the feet of the Rose Queen. ROSE BUDS. Every morning we had five minutes chanting multiplication tables 2 to 12, then various lessons, exercises and so on; and no talking in class. My mother, a teacher herself, told me she was always getting caned for talking during lessons in her time – not that she was ever reticent in later lif e! Compstall Prize Band was in the lead, and the marshals were Messrs. A. Cochran, C. J. Mankin, W. Taylor, and E. E. Bryant. Age is cruel and crueler still to women. A woman becomes a ghost when she stops being worth looking at."

Facing the Carver theatre was a chip shop run by Mr. Hawley. They made potato fritters as well as Fish and Chips. Where the new road passes the car spares shop there was a cul-de-sac with a few cottages called Poplar Square. Since its publication in the United Kingdom, it has been issued in the USA, Germany, Israel, Holland, Poland and France and is due to be published in Italy, Hungary and Croatia. Honley in fact came third in 1883 and bagged top-six finishes for three years after their win, whilst Lindley came second in 1901 and were in the top-six for the following four. Ferodo was runner-up the year before their triumph and fourth the year after, whilst City of Coventry were no contest muggers either - their win coming in the middle of a six year spell of two other stage mentions. Bugler Sergeant C. A. Ashton of the 1st Marple Company of the Boys' Brigade, standing by the throne beneath the trees, heralded the entrance of each section of the procession. PATHWAY OF ROSES.The Albert Schools hosted a multitude of events and activities, and a very large part of mine and my brothers’ childhoods were spent there. Aside from Sunday school every week, and coffee mornings as above, I remember jumble sales in the big hall upstairs, which involved setting up all the trestle tables and piling bags and boxes of unwanted clothes and other goods onto them the evening before the sale. At the appointed hour on Saturday morning, the main doors of the hall at the top of the stairs were opened, 6d was paid to enter the room, and let the chaos begin! Many a bargain was to be had for 2d, 3d or 6d! Recycling would seem to be nothing new.

There is no family history to say whether Hugh Lane and Margaret Cochran knew each other when they were at The Albert Schools as young children.There was only one year difference in their ages, and as it was not a huge school with many hundreds of children, they surely must have been aware of each other at least. Hugh’s family did not attend the Congregational church, or go to the Sunday School at The Albert Schools, so they would have moved in different circles outside of school. It is not until some eight years or so after leaving school, in about 1930 that they were to meet up again as members of Marple Tennis Club. About 1916, my maternal grandfather, Andrew Cochran, moved with his wife and two small daughters from Paisley in Scotland, to Marple. He was an ‘engineer’s draftsman’, and worked for Campbell & Calderwood in Paisley. They designed and made boilers for steam engines, pumps and other machinery. He moved to employment at Daniel Adamson’s at Ashton under Lyne, also makers of boilers for engines for boats, trains, foundries etc. Presumably this was important work for the war effort, and he was not in WW1, as his employment was classed as a ‘reserved occupation’. This line of conveyance is peculiarly adapted for pleasure parties, who may enjoy a delightful and healthy excursion on the Peak Forest Canal, and spend a day in the rural woods and pleasure grounds in the neighbourhood. The scenery is beautiful in the extreme, and cannot be equalled in any part of the country.' Enterprising businessmen I should also like to thank Mr. Johnson for lending his field, and all who have helped us in any way.I think this collection did several things well: it's a nice mix of the refreshingly new and the comforting old, and it varied in type of mystery from murder to more. A brave attempt to write Miss Marple stories to a similar level of ability but this is a very good effort. I would enjoy reading a similar book featuring one of Agatha Christie’s other characters Hercule Poirot.
