 When I was at Hallcroft, we used to cross over the road when we got to this house, if we came out of the gate at the back of the art block. (at the end of Derby St)

 My wife lived on derby st as a kid and she told me about the woman running to her house saying that there was no one in the house n someone trying to drown her in the sink by ducking her head underwater. Makes u wonder

We used to avoid the house when we were at Hallcroft. Heard the same tale back in the 60's.

I remember my sister telling me about the hauntings when I was a little girl. She used to work at Rutland Garments. I started at Hallcroft in 1958 and the tales were very well known by then.

 My husband lived on market st until the late 90's, the school was open for business until 1997 when it closed, and most of market st was/is haunted. I have witnessed a few odd things on there.
