Baker of oat cakes on Dodworth High Street / Dodworth War Memorial Project Group

A small group of dedicated and talented individuals are working in their own time to find out about people from the village who were involved in the First World War / WW1.

PLEASE HELP THEM - if you can - by sharing any information that you may have - the group especially want to trace living relatives of people whose names appear on the local war memorial.

If you have information such as letters, photographs or artifacts like medals, coins and brass shell casing ornaments please let the group know AND BE ASSURED that you will not be asked to part with anything - as COPYING and PHOTOGRAPHING of any item can be done - without taking it away - and - that everything gathered will be shared with the public unless the supplier wants privacy in which case that wish will be honoured.

Memories are especially valuable. Tell the group what you remember - of what your relatives said to you - BEFORE it is forgotten. Remember - once its gone - its gone for ever!

The group can be contacted through Dodworth Library, or Patrick at Dodworth St John's Church on a Thursday morning - or - through this website - just send an email to either of the following addresses: dodworthkronicle@googlemail.com; or to muckbank@yahoo.com. Or ring 249231 / 0746599171

RIGHT NOW THE GROUP ARE TRYING TO TRACE PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT:

A local baker of oat cakes, who may have traded on Dodworth High Street. 

It was a man, named Ben Brooke. Are you related to him? Is anyone you know related to him?

Where was that bakery?

Whatever you know - be it just a tiny bit - please share it.


Many Thanks,

The Editor
