Wilmslow Expats - try our new map!


7/ 7/2008

ARE you a former resident of Wilmslow who has moved abroad and who wants to get back in touch with people still living in the town? Do you know of friends or family who have moved overseas and you want to try and track them down? Well here's your chance with our new interactive map ...

In this section, we're giving an opportunity for people who were parted when locals decided to make new lives overseas to make contact once again.

If you are an ex-pat, who wants to know the whereabouts of a pal or relative, send us the details and we'll post them up here. The same is true of locals - let us know if you want to get back in touch with a local who has left these shores. You never know - they might just visit this site, read your message and you could be reunited.

Alternatively, ex-pats can write to us simply if they want to let the folks back home know what they've been up to, how life overseas is treating them, and what they miss about Wilmslow.

All you have to do to take advantage of this service is to click here to go to our interactive map of the world , then click on the part of the map where you live. Your own pinpoint will appear which you can move to the exact location you want (use the controls on the top-right of the map to move around and to zoom in and out, right down to street level). 

A form will also appear which will allow you to give your name, contact details, reason for moving and anything else you want to share with us. You can amend this information whenever you like by clicking on your pinpoint.

Please note - this information will appear live on the site immediately and is not moderated. If you feel that somebody is abusing this map service, please click here to e-mail the web editor.

   I lived in Heald Green from 1958 to 1973, and had several jobs in Wilmslow. Just before I left England, I was working in Bank Square above Lloyd's Bank. There was a chartered accountant company there that had been started in the 1930s by Alfred Brown and Mr. (I forget his first name) Dunseath. It was called Alfred Brown & Co. These were two lovely old men and the files contained clients' accounts written in copperplate handwriting, with rows of figures in pounds, shillings and pence, and fractions of pence. Nobody used calculators and could add up numerous rows of figures in their heads faster than you could operate a calculator or adding machine. In 1972 or 1973, the company was merged with Kidsons, a large interenational accounting firm. The name was changed to Kidsons, Brown & Company. Anyone remember it? jeanjames@telus.net
