School Lane, Mepal
History of School Lane
Mepal Vignettes (2005) includes short reminiscences from a variety of people.
WK (Wilfred Hilary Kilby) appears in the 1911 census aged 3 months. His father William Henry Kilby, 40, was a baker and grocer. WK recalls how the family moved to the bakehouse and grocery in School Lane. His father would deliver bread daily to villages in the Fens and they would sometimes have to be rowed over the Washes when they were flooded. His father was the church organist.
