REFERRING to the photograph of Lydford School printed in your paper on January 13 in an article about the Lydford book written by Mrs Weeks ? the builders featured were Huggins Bros ? later S and R Huggins of Lydford. The photograph was taken in 1912 when the school building was extended. The young children were Stanley and Gilbert (Reg) sitting on their father?s knee. Co-incidentally, Graham Huggins, the son of Reg Huggins, has just reached retirement after 50 years working in the business, which he took over after the death of his father in 1980. This brings to an end a family business of at least four generations. Christine Huggins Alwynds Hawthorn Park Lydford
