The following story\/memories are courtesy - Irene Harrison.<\/p>\n

\"Mrs Vickers was such a gem to the village, she wrote the pantomimes (and directed) that we enjoyed at Christmas. I remember we used to go by coach, in particular to the then sanatorium in Rufford to put on a show for the patients, many were in tears as we sung 'Its time to say goodbye' etc.<\/p>\n

She also trained the Morris Dancers for many years. I myself was in the troupe from age 5 to 16 years of age. I believe she started life on the canal, does anyone know anymore?<\/p>\n

\n

During or just immediately after the war ended announcement, I remember going down to Mart Lane in the evening to sing and dance and Mrs Vickers was playing her melodeon.\"<\/p>\n
