The map you sent me some time ago for Toote Hill is now on this post and you'll have read the above. Do you know what the 'things' are marked near Toote ? What looks like a building and 2 squares ! Could those squares be churches perhaps (hoping so rather than military) if so furthest right could be Little Coates church and the other . . . my missing one ??? If that is a building indicated, just above the word Toote, then I suspect it's possibly the church but why is it the only real building shown n the map ? Phew Rod Neville,

I think possibly Cun Hu could have been where the Grimsby golf course is today !
