Sun, 27 Aug 2000 My mother is currently in Leek visiting her family. She
was born and raised in Leek and moved to New Zealand. The
last time she was in Leek was 26 years ago. After speaking
to her on the phone tonight, she tells me that Leek has
changed immensly. Angi Bunn Mon, 21 Aug 2000 Just visiting your site, and wondered how many Leekites know that you are about to lose one of your most popular residents? John Christie - debt collector extraordinaire! - and his wife Ann will shortly be leaving Leek for a life on the coast. I am sure they will be greatly missed by their neighbours in Buxton Road. from all at Sat, 19 Aug 2000 One of the Best Sites I have seen. Great new layout. The
photographs are wonderful and the whole site is a
credit. Thanks once again. Sat, 19 Aug 2000 Would Tony or Lisa OROPOLLO please contact GEOFF in LEEK.....following a problem with my server I need to get in touch again....especially regarding their holiday in the U.K. Thu, 17 Aug 2000 As I will be coming to Leek this October, it was interesting to see where I was coming.also to hear other peoples opinions. Sounds like a great place to see. If Jill and Simon happen to see this I look forward to seeing you at your wedding in October. David and
Wendy Thu, 17 Aug 2000 I visited this site at the recommendation of my sister Linda who is presently Leek Town Clerk.I could not believe the interest in the town and the people who were visiting the website. We must keep up the good work and promote the beauty of the area and the individuality of the residents and be proud of all the interest shown and welcome the visitors to the area! Well done Leek Wed, 16 Aug 2000 Hi from Jim and Debbie Grindon, residents of Leek.Could anyone help us to track down our old friends Martin and Suzie Sharrock,originally from Leek?

I'm searchg the Tatton & Finn family names from the area. I know at least some of them were Roman Catholic in the 1900's so were perhaps Rom.Cath. earlier also. Thanks.

Manchester in 1945. 1 Oak Villas Wed, 2 Aug 2000 I am trying to trace a family of Bloor's who lived at a house called "Longfield" on Ladderedge.

Lester Fri, 28 Jul 2000 I am a resident in Leek. We have been here for 27 years and just love it. Can't imagine living anywhere else. It is improving all the time. Great to see this web site. It is wonderful. My son-in-law told me about it. He also loves Leek and he is from Cornwall. Tue, 25 Jul 2000 I lived in Leek in 1980 and 1981 and have never forgotten it. Coming back in mid July to celebrate with old friends was wonderful. Now that John Fisher has retired from teaching he can devote himself to his mayor's duties full time. George Wiskin's farewell as head of Westwood Highschool was an event not to be missed. I love Leek and am privileged to have made and kept in touch with many friends there. Back soon... Sun, 23 Jul 2000 I lived in Leek for several months in 1981. At that time
I was assigned at Bode and Son, and I was lodging at The
Jester at Leek located in Mill Str. I made a lot of good
friends, but after many years I lost contact with them. Can
you please let me know how to contact Mr. Tom Barlow and
family?. Mr. Barlow was the owner of The Jester. I would
also appreciate if I can hear from the Bode family
again. Sincerely. Raul

Bradley I have had the pleasure of visiting Leek over the course
of 30 years and several visits to England. I particularly
enjoy your market day. The village is picturesque and
unspoiled. As I do my family history, I am having a growing
sense that I had ancestors in Leek. Only time will tell. Laura Bradley ALLEN - Ipstones, Newchapel, Kidsgrove, COOKE - Kidsgrove, COX - Frome & Batheaston, Somerset; Goldenhill, Hanley, DALE - Bucknall, GRIFFITHS - Holywell, Wales, ROBERTS - Hanley; Flint, Wales, WARDLE - Ipstones Kay
Ahlquist Am looking forward to reviewing the website. Am very impressed so far, Leek Staffordshire was my birthplace in 1948. Do not remember anything about it, as I was only 2 when we left for the US. So, it will be fun learning on your website. Thanks for all the great info. Fergus
Tobin Leek is such a cosmopilitan little town. I lived there for two years. The houses were so inexpensive and the quality high and you are only minutes away from some of the most beautiful countryside in the country. To cap it all, the people are so friendly too. And yes, it was the only place outside Scotland where I have had deep fried Mars Bars. What a treat ! Roger
Ball I spend many hours,"Surfing" and I never realised this
site existed, until reading tonights Sentinel. I have spent
over an hour on it so far,and have not completed my tour.
This is without a doubt, one of the best Web Pages I have
looked at. A tribute to the Webmaster and the town of Leek.
Hopefully more "Hits" to come, have sent it to many friends
overseas. Roger Ball, Michael
Wardle Miss Leek very much, left Leek in 1954, born in Duke Street. Michael Wardle. Stalybridge Marie
Billington I live in New Zealand. My Dad emigrated here in approximately 1927. I grew up with lots of his stories about Leek. I visited Leek in 1992 and spent time visiting the places of my Dad's childhood. His name was Cyril Thornley Bailey and he lived in Park Road. While he never went 'back home', he had such fond memories of his hometown of Leek - he is now deceased. I plan to visit Leek again in the next few years. I would love to hear from anyone in Leek who could just 'talk' to me about Leek. Marie Billington

Wark BESTWICK/CLEWLOW(Clulow) My gr gr gr grandparents were James Bestwick b 1 Dec 1783 Staffordshire, England d 16 Mar 1881, Mercer, PA, USA.and Esther Clewlow b 1786 d 1855 Mercer, PA, USA.; they were married 26 Jun 1803 Bucknall, Cum Bagnall, Staffordshire, England they had 9 children and in 1834 he and his wife went to USA. There is a story not proven that Esther was "Lady" Clewlow and that James Bestwick was a trades man and her family was very upset that she married below her station that is why they finally left England. Does anyone know this family and their parents and life in England, I live in US and only know about them in US and would like to learn about them in England, thank you for your help. Nancy Wark Harry Hayes I am writing for Linda Lison of Geneva, Switzerland. Linda was born in Leek on 16 February, 1951. The only information that she has is that she was born "Elizabeth". She was probably adopted by Mrs. Jacober. She remembers attending Parish Church School and Little Bourough school (teacher: Mrs Baxter). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Harry Hayes The Bennett

Leek has such a great form of contact with its
"ex-pats". Hope to hear from someone soon, Ian-Pam-Pask Pam and Ian Pask - Nelson - New Zealand here. Our folk - The Jordans of Weston St - live in Leek. We have just had Alison and friend Michael visiting Nelson on a camper van tour of New Zealand.

You are now logged into our "Favourites" and we will read the paper more frequently. We see this week that The Green Dragon group have a write up on homeopathy. Alison is a member of this club - as are my sister and brother in law - Ann and John Gilman. Say hi to them from us. Pam Mary Lee Clouston

Bishop I want to thank you for your site . My father lived for 36 years in Holland and till the day he past away he was still reading the leek post and times. See the death notices from Wednesday, March 15 2000 James verdun bishop. He always gave the leek post too me when he finished reading it and that one of the reasons that I'm glad that I can read it a bit on internet. Again thank you for the site and even that I live in Holland for 36 years I'm proud I'm still a Englishman and more than that I,m even prouder that I,ve been born and lived in Leek for seven years. James Stuart Bishop Steven William

Collins Wow, I just discovered this website. Last time I looked (a while ago, mind you), it didn't exist. Anyway, I'm very impressed and must add to the sentiments of one other ex Leek resident, that Staffordshire oatcakes are very lacking here. Also, my stocks of marmite and murray mints are rapidly depleting, so if anyone's coming over, please let me know!! Needless to say, I miss my family, who are mainly concentrated in Leek. Think about them all the time and wish they were here ... in this sweltering heat ... Although I'm now an Aussie citizen, I'm still proud of where I come from and will always be a 'Pom'. Lesley Collins, nee Ashby Dennis
Nadin The Naden/Nadin Family were centred on Longnor and
lived throughout the N Staffs Moorlands since records
began. Naden/Nadin Family Society Liisa Van Duyts Just received a postcard from friends who have moved to Leek. Since I have never been there and the encyclopedia wasn't helpful, I thought I'd ask Yahoo to take me there. Hooray! What a terrific website. Now when I respond to my friends about their choice of domicile I wont sound like a dumb Yank. Well, less of one, anyway. I'm writing from Berkeley, California (across the bay from San Francisco). This morning the sun came out for an hour and the bay was glorious. Then the storm clouds raced in, the temperature dropped, it rained buckets for two hours and now it has begun snowing lightly on Mt. Tamalpais (adjacent to Bay) around the 1200 ft. level. Golly! If you're planning a trip to San Francisco, don't expect to walk around in shorts. Sunny California ain't. Liisa Van Duyts Andy
Ramsden I'm 27,and on a boring Sunday afternoon, had the thought
of asking you to post a message asking any people that know
me, and feel inclined to get in touch with me. It would make
a nice change to see what people are upto since I left the
area in 1989. Thank You.
