My Gt Grandfather William Cutts, a Saddler and Harness Maker lived and worked in Town Street (now Main Street) Ollerton until 1896. His wife Elizabeth and son also William carried on the family business until 1918.
Another child of William and Elizabeth Emily married a John Baker and they too lived on Town Street until they are found, on the 1911 census, living at The Hall Ollerton whether this is "Ollerton Hall" or the building which is now the pub Ollerton House I'm not sure.
During a visit to Old Ollerton we bought a copy of the book published by your committee which also has some excellent photos and information about Old Ollerton, well done everyone!!

Enjoyed looking round yesterday and seeing the POW film.
All very worthwhile.

I just wish I could have shared them with my mum (Sandra) who passed away last year. My mum loved things such as this and I'm sure she could have named alot of people. | | | | | |
