Comments: Hello, I wonder if any Thorne residents remember Fred Roberts, my grandfather who was born in Scarborough in 1901. He joined the army when he was 18 and moved to Ireland but I know nothing about this life up to the age of 18. His second child, my aunt Marion was born in Thorne in 1927 so I assume there's some family or early life connection there? I think he might have been adopted or something. Can anyone help? It would be amazing if you could.
Thank you for looking! Claire

Comments: This site is poorly supported by Thorne Moorends Regeneration Partnership who do not appear to be answering the many requests for information they get.
Comments: Does anyone know anything about the annual parade that went to the Black Bull Inn at High Levels from Thorne? I have seen photos in the "Old postcards of Thorne" Book from around 1911-1915. A parade called a "commando" was held and there is mention of the Thorne Troopers and a Jazz Band. There was also a show held at the same time.
