When it was decided to erect a memorial to Kathleen Dayus – the author of many books, including ‘All My Days’, ‘The Girl from Hockley’ etc, her daughter Jean and the rest of Kathleen’s family were invited to come along to the ceremony.
The memorial is in the Square which was created at the time and appropriately named ‘Dayus Square’.
Jean died just before Christmas at the age of 97 – she, like her mother, didn’t quite make it to her 100th year!
