Ray Bailey of Co Durham & Bedfordshire - a very long walk
« on: Saturday 21 February 26 19:45 GMT (UK) »
I was browsing in a book shop today, and was very tempted by this book, as Ray Bailey was born in Co Durham (though as far as I know not related to me, although I have Walkers in my extended family!)The family later moved to Luton for work.
