Obviously I never met him but he is remembered fondly by my mum and myself.
They all lived in 5 New High Street, Fairfield where I visited my great grandma his sister Mary Clearly (new Radford) everyday until she went to live with my nan.
We have visited the new memorial which as you perhaps know is in the small park near St Peters Church as I have dogs and live very close so we walk through the park on our way to the common.
My nan told us of many tales of Uncle Tommy but as a child they didn’t sink in until it was too late, but mum remembers Granny Radford (Tommy’s mum) well.
Unfortunately both myself and mum not sure about my nan although we all grew up here in Fairfield never knew he was written on the stained glass window in St Peters Church as silly as that seemed.
Well thankyou for this info, I know mum will be VERY interested, as I am too.
