Hello Christine
I work in Stamford Museum & have written a Winter Slide Talk called Hops & Hostelries: from Albion to Woolpack, an historical look at Stamford's breweries & watering holes. It will be on at the Arts Centre next year (with others) I was interested in the photo of Patens that you posted. Would you allow me to use it in the talk? It is rare to see early interior shots - I also wondered what the background story to the pic is. Hope you can help

J H John Henry Day Known as Jack Day was the Engine Driver of the last train from Essendine to Stamford (The Essendine Flyer). He is my Grandfather

Hello

Looking at your photos, I can confirm that the Jack Day you mention is indeed my maternal great-grandfather, John Henry Beaton Day (27i1894-23x1967). I have inherited some similar photos from my grandmother, his daughter Jean Templeman(1923-2007), and that man is definitely him. He was an artilleryman in the Northamptonshire Regiment, and then became a Railway Engine Driver. He was very heavily involved in sport in the Stamford area. One photo my great-grandmother, his widow Florence (1899-1989), had on her wall when I was a small boy showed him setting the stumps for the Burghley Cricket Team in the early 1960s. We also had one of him shaking hands with someone and giving out a prize for the Borough Council, though in what capacity, I am unsure. Was he a Borough Councillor at some point? No lists seem available beyond the current incumbents.

Best Wishes
