Raggytash, I'd have PM'd you if you were signed in, but short of that I'll try thread drift. There was a Christmas carol written by one of the Evanses, of which a 45 was produced and sold in St Luke's, somewhere between 1966 and 1970. It was called Star O Star, IIRC, and was also sung in church around Christmas time. I've tried without success to find the words, though I remember the tune well. emails to the church and school have not produced any response. Do you recall it?

Back on topic, the material that went onto bonfires back then would often have raised interest on Antiques Roadshow now- Victorian wardrobes, horsehair- stuffed settees, mahogany sideboards.... though the settees and chairs were always ripped open to see if anyone had stashed money in them (they never had, but cue for a song so this thread stays up aloft).
