Thank you Sylvia oval64@virginmedia.com Subject: Peter Hulme Date: Mon 14 June 2010 I have been catching up with quite a number of
people who were friends at Leek Boys' High School
around 1959 - 1962. This started when some of us
set up the first of three or four very successful
reunions just a few years ago. Does anyone have any knowledge of him? Also - I would love to find out if anyone has any photographs of the old Geography Room at LHS - later Warrington Hall - as it was around the same period. It was well equipped according to ideas popular in the interwar years and I would welcome pictures as an example. As well as the fact that some of us used to haunt it in the old Geographical Society! Thanks! Best wishes Alan Machin Subject: Trying to contact Carol prev. from Leek Date: Wed 19 May 2010 Trying to contact Carol Johnson. George Towers’ great-grand daughter would

Pat is the daughter of Walter and Mary Peach, granddaughter of Lizzie Louise Peach and William Henry Peach, niece of Betty Whittles ( nee Peach ) and Beatrice Peach.The Peach family kept the Duke of York pub in Derby Street for many years. At one stage Pat lived at the Wellington Inn, Strangman Street in Leek. Her grandfather William was an NCO with the Leek Volunteers. She was born in about 1933. She married a Graham Chadwick at St Edward's church in Leek, and they both taught in the Stoke area for a while. They are believed to have emigrated to Rhodesia (as it then was ) and may still be living in Zimbabwe. If anyone has any news of her could you please contact me via e mail. Thank-you.
