Cottages opposite Stone Bench Farm, Sandon in 1909Stone Rural District Council in December 1964 recommended by its housing committee to make demolition orders in respect of eleven houses at Sandon owned by the Earl of Harrowby due to them being uninhabitable. Most of the cottages were saved and modernised. The two cottages opposite Stone Bench Farm and three cottages in Pump Square were demolished in 1969. Simon Shelley
On 19th November the topic for the talk this month is “The Songs From Two World Wars”. This will be given by Nicholas Corder. As we all know this year marks the anniversaries of V.E. and V.J. days. Music was important to those on the front and at home. A memorable First World War song was “Pack Up Your Troubles” and the Second World War found people singing “We’ll Meet Again”. Members will be joining in and remembering these songs and many more.We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of the month in Sandon Parish Rooms, Lichfield Road, Sandon at 7-30pm.If you are new to the area, or would just like to met new people in an inclusive, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, please do come and visit us at any of our meetings.
