SIR: As part of the topic work later in the year, the pupils of Clevelands Preparatory School will be looking at "Victorians". Therefore I am trying to find out as much information as I can the history of Clevelands itself.

If any of your readers have photographs, knowledge, anecdotes or archive material about the building or the family that built and first lived in the house I would be very grateful hear about it. If any persons or their ancestors worked in the house I would be delighted to hear from them and to listen to their reminiscences. I can be contacted at the school on 01204 843898.
