It is always interesting to receive emails via our club website. Recently I received one from David Rattee whose Grandma is Monica Askew, 3rd from right on the back row of the swimming club photograph.
David wonders if any of us can help date the photograph He thinks it is between 1914 and 1918. The costumes and hair ribbons are interesting...as are the hand embroidered A.S.C on the costumes. David says He says, “His Grandma, Monica was born in Ashton in 1901 and was the daughter of Henry and Susannah Askew. Henry Askew had a tailors shop in Ashton. “

The photograph below is of Monica's class at school. (Monica is thought to be at the far right of the back row. We do not know which school is in the photograph, but the family lived at 1 Cowhill Lane Ashton.
