Mike and Cheryl, some good answers but also two near misses.
1. This is a near miss. The question asked about the shop.
2. Monsdale Lane is correct
3. Willow Cottage is correct
4. The pubs are correct, but what was established in 1910?
5. –
6. Looking for the brewery, so correct.
7. –
8. The Queen’s Golden Jubilee, June 2002 is correct.
So I score that 4 out of 8, with perhaps two halves.
#5 – graveyard extension
#7 – Methodist Chapel
Correct Emma.
That just leaves:
1. What has Mrs Brownson’s shop in main Street become? (the Shop, not the house)
2. As well as the three pubs that have existed in Parwich, what related organisation was founded in 1910?
I don’t know the answer to No 1, but have been thinking about the other one – was the organisation something like the Unity Club?
Yes the Parwich Unity Club was founded in 1910, but folded in 1935.
In many ways it was a precursor to the Legion, with almost a very similar consitution.
