    3. Hi Chris, Many thanks for your welcome - I was just wondering if other subscribers had seen the Mitchell & Kenyon program last night - I was delighted to see the huge crowds egg - rolling in Avenham Park. It was of particular interest to me as my grandfather George Sanderson was the Park Superintendent there and my mother and her family grew up in the lodge by the ornamental water gardens there. Having seen how close the lodge is to the railway line, I don't know how they managed to sleep though! By coincidence my other grandfather Joseph Hood was the station-master at Preston around that time. Needless to say, I could not spot my grandfather in the crowd; I am most envious of the people who have been able to see their ancestors 'brought back to life' by these wonderful films. Regards Philip Hood Nottingham
