Mr. Jack Johnston
Jack was born in 1901 and died in 1980. He was a well-known character in the area being the butcher in Reed's shop. He used to slaughter animals in a yard at the back of the shop. Jack was a very cheery person who always had time to ' pass the time of day' with you. When he retired he became 'Lollipop Man' for the children at Marley Hill School never failing to be on duty in all weathers.

His name was actually Jack Johnston. He's my mother's grandfather which makes him my great-grandfather.
