blog-maudMaud’s East Leeds tale is one of a series of delightful little tales uncovered in an attic clearance. Maud is no longer with us but she was a Richmond Hill lass and I’m sure she would have been happy for us to enjoy her little tales. Speciel thanks to that wise unknown who had the foresight to write down these little tales and preserve them for us to read in the present in that which was for them the future. They are reproduced here in her own words, to do otherwise would be a crime.

I enjoyed Maud’s tale. Thank you. It reminded me of the Maypole, I think that was some kind of coop on Dial Street, just near the intersection with Ellerby Lane. Why was the school called Ellerby Lane when it was on East Street/
