A LETTER FROM PETER THOMPSON REGARDING THE PARAGON GARAGE
Not sure about the spelling but the owner was Joel Bold followed later by his son Edwin, the fox was his pet and I saw it often. In fairly recent years Edwin still lived in one of those quite nice houses on the right heading toward Furness just after Bank End. He had a couple of dogs with him last time I saw him out walking. Used to be very much an outdoor type ,shooting etc. seriously dressed for it. Probably shot the fox cub's mother.
Joel had a plaque on the garage, which read something like –
“You are now in Derbyshire; Strong in the Arm Weak in The Head”
For a short time the Paragon was owned by Jim Riddick Senior's brother, I think his name was Jack.
