Undated photo of the arches looking West. Photo dates from around 1950.

Hi Elizabeth
It's lovely to see you on the board.Hope you are doing ok.
If you look through those arches and on the left passed the last Arch a few yards to the left was where Catherine lived at one time. There is a plaque on a wall to commemorate that.

Forgot to say the address was 5 Leam Lane and I think it was where she was born.
