I remember Alan Startin actually emigrating to Australia. I lived next door but one from the family as a child. His mother May Starting was a lovely lady and used to take me to Midland Drapery in Derby at Christmas to see father Christmas. Alan had a brother Ken Startin who sadly developed some mental health issues later in life. They had a dog when they lived on Willowcroft Road called Lassie. I used to go round to their house to play with the dog!
