replied on: 1/6/2005 9:48:09 PM Don't know if this is of any interest, but I used to know a Cyril Bassford who live on Broadway, near the Town Ground. I remember him as being something to do with Heanor Urban District Council - perhaps thats where to councillor conection comes in. I have more about this chaps friends etc; but it's too personal to publish here. Ask if you would like to know.. On reflection his name could have been Clarence; I'm getting old!!!! |
