I AM researching my family history and wonder if any of your readers may have memories or old photographs relating to Minnie (Wright) and Richard Dale, who farmed at Bassett House, Thorpe Bassett, from about 1920.

My late father used to visit his Aunt Minnie at the farm in the 1930s, and I can remember visiting them both as a child in the 1960s when they had moved to a house in Middlecave Road.

I have been told that Uncle Rich used to visit the cattle market very regularly, even in old age when he had finally retired from farming.

I have several old photographs of the farmhouse and have already visited the grave in Rillington cemetery, but any further information about their lives could be sent to me at mari@spanyol.co.uk and would be gratefully received.
