Francis Shergold's Morris Dancing team about 1969 with names taken by Keith Chandler Roy Shergold, Bill Daniels, Reg Hall, Cyril Smith, Dave Rose, Pete Allum, Terry Rouse, Steven Govier
Frank Purslow was not only an excellent melodeon player, he taught many local people as well. He also had a wonderful catalogue of music gathered throughout his life. It was shocking to see it all put outside the gate of his house after his death for the bin men to pick up. A little was rescued but the vast majority was thrown away. The letter from Frank shown here was a follow-on from one sent the week before and the text will explain all.
