Guest galena Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 A family member thinks that they visited a relative in an almshouse in either Norton Woodseats area or Norton at the end of WW II. Has anyone any knowledge of almshouses in this area at this time please? I have searched Kelly's directories for 1942 and 1948 bu to no avail. Many thanks galena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
