can anyone tell me what became of the breeding stud at wellingborough of george and webb, i can remember visiting it about 30 years ago, think he had newslad and a few other big names

Nothing much! Think a little more than 30 years though. It was rented out afterwards. Had a few take it over and fly from there. John lawless was the last one I believe late 80's early 90's. I / my son relaid the floor for his office / watch tower there. After his desise two others tried afterwards. Was rented out with the house, but hear tell they never paid up much and ruined it. Appaarently a bit of a rogue moved in next door and then after they were got shot of, it got squatters in the house. Think the house was eventually sold on in a mess. Shame really, for it was certainly nice in it's time.The pond was wrecked and broken up etc. etc. of course long ago.

thanks for reply, thats a shame, it was like a smaller version of louella and some nice birds on sale, i understood at the time it was run by a trust fund left by the guy that owned weetabix, looks like the money ran out
