Incidently the Sir Charles Napier pub was also known as "Top House" was that just my family or were those terms used by others too? It's been called the Top House elsewhere on this site, so it wasn't just your family.

I seem to be having a lot of problems with emails to you, though I know that Peter has managed to email you a picture without any problem. I got your message saying that you had received the Ebenezer Street photo, but I sent that about three times before it reached you! Can you click on my name to the left of this post, and send a message to me that way to let me know if you have received the email from me entitled "Newspaper"? If you haven't I shall try once more, and, if that fails, I shall print it out and put it in the post!!! (I have your address.) Thanks for your contributions Stan. Robert

suzard Researcher Quote \| Reply \|	Langley Mill Coop replied on: 12/30/2006 6:41:33 PM You'll feel you are in Langley Mill again, Stanley. Here's a question for you- With your Coop dairy connections -do you remember Bernard Smith from the Coop Dairy (he lived on Plumptre Road Aldercar and was married to Doris, who was manageress of ladies fashions at Eastwood Coop)?? Dois's sister , Stella, was married to Ken Marson,who was a tailor for Gents outfitting at Langley Mill Coop -and his father was in charge of the Coop funeral/wedding cars!!! Doris's other sister Flossie worked in the office at langley Mill Coop laundry-a real Coop family!!! Are you relatd to Charlie Rowley who lived in the cottage next to the "Top House"?
