      A question remains: since when and how long was that school open? If it was opened like in XIX century and remained open until early XX century, those remains would signal normal childhood death rate at the time. No vaccines, no antibiotics, and, not a mother to take real care.

    If you every visit the small mining town Eastwood in Nottinghamshire, you can visit his place of birth and the historic sites in the area!
    Most importantly this old mining town has a Weatherspoons named ‘Lady Chatterley’ in which you can get a pint for £2!

      Alternatively the ashes could have been scattered after the original owner of the urn died. My Grandmother died 5 years before my Grandfather. & he kept her ashes on the living room mantle piece untill he died.
      When he passed away he was cremated. & the family combined their ashes & then scattered them as they had wanted. But we were left with a lovely (but now sadly rather useless) ceramic urn.
      Thankfully we were put in touch with a poor family that needed an urn for their loved one. By the funeral home that had handled both my Grandparents funerals & cremations.
      So we gave the urn to the poor family to used for their loved one. It's what Nan would have wanted, she was big on helping those less fortunate & in need.

I personally especially love how he often writes his dialogue in accented Nottinghamshire - which is still a strong accent today!
