Jonathan Saunders Posted 17 May , 2004 Share Posted 17 May , 2004 Second Lieutenant John Eric Stanley Wakeley Of Wakeley Road fame I presume Jon ? Its about time we had a beer mate Mick Mick, The Wakeley family "owned" Rainham in the late 19th / early 20th century. William Street, Henry Street were named after the Christian names of JES Wakeley's grandfather. There was a Martha Wakeley Road (or something similar) at one point as well although it has since been renamed something else. When did you have in mind for a beer and I will check the diary. I guess you would like a report on Verdun and Cambrai? Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
