Farewell A6

LOLLIPOP lady Mrs Mavis Cowell retired after 15 years supervising Rowsley schoolchildren as they crossed the busy A6 road.

The 54 pupils who were there at the time sang and performed special dances for the much-loved lollipop lady to mark her departure.

The staff, however, laid on a party where no doubt a few school coffee mugs were used for a different tipple entirely.
