To introduce myself, my name is Susan West, married name and my parents were Florence Cox nee Dakin and my father William Cox, bought up in
College Street and my mother Church Street, before the alms houses were built. They later moved to Lincoln after the second world war and we lived in Lincoln for six years, although, I went to Spittalgate School for one year, before my father was moved to London. He had worked for
Liverpool Victoria at the Stonebow, Lincoln. My mother was involved in the Ammunitions factory, Grantham and later F.W. Woolworths. my father
was in the air force and went to Egypt for 3 years, involved in Radar Signals. Many of our relatives lived in Grantham and quite a few worked
at the Co op Grantham and Syd Frankish, my father’s cousin he was bought up with as his mother died in childbirth in Derbyshire, so his aunt in College Street bought him u and I think Richard, who lives in Grantham knew Barry, one of Syd’s sons. My father was bought up with Syd. Richard
