Thank you Jacqui, my Dad would have been aged 8 during these events, must have been during the Big Freeze-up that he learnt to skate, as he bought these skills with him to Oz and won many skating competitions, it always fascinated me to watch him, he tried to teach Mum, but she just ended up with bruises from head to toe. Also his family are buried at All Hallows, Bispham, wondering if photos of this cemetery are on the net ?
