My grandfather, Percy Bennett, was born in Walkern May 14th 1890. He worked briefly as a bakers assistant before moving to London to join the Metropolitan Police where he spent the rest of his working life. His father Walter was killed while delivering ale from Wrights Brewery. He was a dray driver and fell off and was run over the neck by his dray on 9th August 1895. My wife and I visited Walkern in 2008 and stayed at the White Lion .
The boards are full of information and well presented
Your first storyboard looks great. So sorry I couldn’t be there!
