Hi Chelm'

I was born in Mill Lane, my grandfather Percy Hynds used to work in the mill. Your grandmother reaching 105 years is amazing. I am currently researching my family tree, who was your grandmother's mother? I believe Edward and Sarah Hynds were parents of Percy. I guess we must be related somehow, very best regards.

Yes Harold Hynds lived there in 1950's, I can' be sure when he moved his family to Bran End Mill.

Hi All,

Percy's house is still standing in Mill Lane. It used to have a white picket fence and was named Mountview (I think), double fronted 1930's style. My uncle Harold used to live in the little bungalow at the bottom of the lane.

Hi. My grandfather was Percy Hynds and many decades ago I used to spend Summer Holidays in Mill Lane. I often went out on Len Hynds' lorry deliveries. I also used to swim in the mill pool and once recovered the iron bar used to operate the flood gates.
