Hello Jane
Your history about Cottingham is very
interesting. I lived in Cottingham from 1954 to 1966 in the house which is
now next to the Spread Eagle. Previously there was another house next to
us which has been demolished . On the other side of us was the Cranes
service station.
Went to Cottingham School and have fond
memories of Mr Kisby. On the front of our house were the initials
ING who I believe was a tailor named INGRAM and the house was previously a
shop. Mr Kisby told me this.
Hello Colin also hello to Audrey Coles from
the shop all on High Street. My aunt also lived in the house next to the
Co-Op (Mrs Panter). My uncle was Eddy Panter - pretty sure he was born in
Cottingham.
Thanks for your great website.
