| Education | about 1923 | He was educated at Mosborough School, School Street, in Mosborough, DerbyshireG. |
| Hobby | 1928 | He was a noted amateur footballer, playing for many local teams and winning numerous competitions He was a noted amateur footballer, playing for many local teams and winning numerous competitions. |
| Education | 14 September 1932 | He left school at the age of 14. His School Leaving reference reads: Mosborough C.E. School 14th Sept 1932 I have great pleasure in testifying on behalf of Frank Lowe who has recently left this school . Frank is one of the most estimable boys I have ever taught. He was always diligent at his lessons and being possessed of a fund of intelligence made consistent progress through school. I found him uniformly truthful and honest and the thing I specially admired him for was the amazing grit he displayed when once he had put his hand to a job. This was particularly evident in sport. He was, I think, the finest footballer this school has produced, an excellent, clean and swift runner and his team work always showed splendid judgment and foresight. He would, I believe, succeed as a professional sportsman, but failing this his fine sporting qualities will be of the highest service to him in any walk of life he pursues. I recommend him most strongly as a boy who, I am confident, would strive to the utmost to give every satisfaction. signed: E. Drabble (Headmaster.) |
| Occupation | between 1932 and 1939 | Start of working life. After leaving school, he worked at the Daily Bread bakery on Broughton Lane, Sheffield with his brother Arthur. He earned 10 shillings a week as a van lad. Arthur and Frank would cycle from Mosborough to Birley Vale, where there was a tram terminus. They left the bikes and caught the tram to Attercliffe, reversing the procedure in the evening. The bakery closed when Frank was about 15 or 16, and he and Arthur went to work for Vere's Bakery on Bakehouse Lane in Eckington. It was sited behind the shops on the main road, between Henry Street and School Street. Ted Vere and his wife ran the business, and Frank worked as a delivery lad with Arthur driving the van. He says he hated every minute of his time there. Ted Vere seems to have been a badly organised person, relying on his wife to keep the business going. Their two sons were the only other employees, and it was obvious that Frank would never be more than an outsider. Ted Vere decided he wanted to get out of the bakery, so he sacked Arthur and started driving the van himself, with Frank accompanying him. They covered Sheffield and Rotherham. Ted soon decided to return to an inside job, and his son George took over as driver, and he taught Frank to drive in the firm's van. He drove from Whiston crossroads back to Eckington, with George supervising, and that was all the tuition he every had. He took and passed his driving test in 1935, in the bread van - but George drove him to the test so he wasn't allowed to practice. Frank now became the van driver. He was spoken to one day by the local policeman, Mr. Nelson, who warned him that a report had been made of him driving too fast round Tagg's corner - a difficult, tight bend on the main road on Eckington High Street. Frank denied it, and the policeman said "I know it's not true. I've seen you drive often enough and if you were dangerous I'd have stopped you myself. I think somebody is trying to get you sacked because they are after your job". This was a time of high unemployment, and such tricks were quite common. |
| Occupation | 1935 | He changed his job in 1935 After passing his driving test in 1935, he was better placed to get alternative work. He got a job as a labourer with Henry Boot, the builder. He worked on the Frecheville and Parson Cross estates, and repaired the cement mixers when they broke down. Frank says that the architect of Parson Cross links to the architect of the telescope at Jodrell Bank. When the estates were finished, the firm had no more work, so he found a place with another builder who was constructing part of the estate at Mosborough which includes Elm Crescent. He was only there a few months, and then he contracted dermatitis on his arms, caused by the cement dust. The doctor refused to allow him to go back to work, and he was unemployed for a short time until war was declared. |
| Note | 1935 | He learned to drive when he was 17. The driving test was introduced in 1935, just as Frank was old enough to drive. His provisional licence was the 26th issued in Derbyshire. He took his test in Sheffield, driving Vere's bread van. He passed, but was not allowed to drive the van back to Eckington. He was still just a delivery lad. |
| Milit-Beg | 2 October 1939 | He joined the armed forces on 2 October 1939 in Sheffield, YorkshireG. When the second World War began, Frank and a friend called Albert Buckley went into Sheffield to join the armed forces. The recruiting centre was the Cutler's Hall. They both intented to join the Navy, but they had already filled their allocation and he had to choose between the Army and the Air Force. He didn't like the thought of wearing Army boots, and so chose the Air Force. He enlisted as a driver, but was later asked by letter if he would accept a position as an engine mechanic. He had not dared to offer himself in that position as he was only self-taught and had no qualifications, but he accepted immediately - "It was a dream come true." |
| Note | 14 December 1939 | He served in the military on 14 December 1939 in Cardington, BedfordshireG, He was ordered to report for basic training at Cardington, where the airships had been based a few years earlier. He was there for a month, doing basic "square bashing", but was allowed home for Christmas. |
| Note | 2 January 1940 | He was stationed in Catfoss, YorkshireG, on 2 January 1940 Frank was posted to Catfoss, a newly constructed airfield near Hornsea which was being used as a transit camp for new recuruits. He was only there a few weeks, but remembers being snowed in when on guard in a small hut on the coast, watching for signs of an invasion. Towards the end of the month, he learned that on Friday 26th January he would be posted to St. Athan, near Cardiff, where he would be trained as a mechanic. The journey from Hull to Cardiff would mean a change of trains in Sheffield, so he sent a telegram to Annie, asking him to meet her at the station. |
| Engagement | 26 January 1940 | Frank and Annie became engaged on 26 January 1940 in Sheffield, YorkshireG, Annie and Frank met at the railway station during Frank's journey to St. Athan. He was granted permission to go into town until his train was due to leave, and he proposed to Annie in a phone box on Surrey Street, outside the Town Hall. Less than an hour later, he was back on the train. |
| Note | 27 January 1940 | He was stationed in St. Athan, GlamorganG, on 27 January 1940 Frank was based at St. Athan for six months, from January to July 1940, learning to strip and repair engines. His earlier experience put him ahead of a lot of the other trainees, and he was often told to "let them do the work, because they need to learn and you don't". He was taught to be methodical, laying out parts in order to make rebuilding easier. He went to a trial for the base football team, but "so many people attended that they were playing 20 a side, and you couldn't get a kick" so he was not selected. Instead, he and some friends formed an unofficial team that would play kickabouts whenever they were off duty. Then someone organised a tournament, and Frank's team got through to the final where they played the official base team. Frank's team won 5-2 (he kept the medal until he died) and "words were said about why we hadn't attended the trial match when we were so good. We told them we had attended, but the trial was so badly organised that it was useless". He remembered St. Athan as a happy time. |
| Marriage | 10 May 1941 | He married Annie West on 10 May 1941 at Eckington Parish Church in Eckington, DerbyshireG. The marriage certificate reads: Marriage solemnized at the Parish Church in the Parish of Eckington in the County of Derby When married: May 10th 1941 Name and surname: Frank Lowe 22 Bachelor RAF Mechanic 34 Stone Street Mosborough, son of Richard Lowe Coal Miner Annie West 23 Spinster 7 Church Row Eckington, daughter of Alfred Frank West (deceased) Coal Miner Married in the Parish Church according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Established Church after Banns by me (unreadable) Rector This marriage was solemnized between us: Frank Lowe Annie West in the presence of us: Arthur Lowe Raymond West. |
| Residence | between 1941 and 1947 | He and Annie West lived at 15 Market Street in Eckington, DerbyshireG, between 1941 and 1947. They lived with Annie's sister Norah Moorcroft and her husband. |
| Note | about 1943 | He was stationed in Wickenby, LincolnshireG, about 1943 He was usually in Training Units, and the only active squadron that he was posted to was 12 Squadron, based at Wickenby in Lincolnshire. It was a satellite station for Binbrook, but there was a different squadron based at Binbrook. They had Wellingtons (2-engined bombers) but while he was there they converted to Lancasters (4-engined bombers). Unusually, the flight crews were not sent away for retraining, but were trained on site. |
| Occupation | January 1946 | After being demobbed from the RAF, he worked at Atco Motor Mowers in Eckington. He was based in the service/repair shop, but grew tired of being made to train people for better paid jobs as area representatives. He asked to be given an area himself, and was refused. He was offered a job in a local coal mine at much better wages, so he took it. |
| Note | 19 April 1946 | He played two football matches on the same day on 19 April 1946 On Good Friday, Frank was allowed the afternoon off work to play in a football match for Renishaw (then regarded as the best team in the area) against Clowne. He has to wait to collect his pay, then cycled from the Atco works at Eckington to Renishaw, only to see the team bus driving away. He gave chase, and was seen by team-mates on the bus, which stopped for him. They continued to Clowne, played and won. Later that evening they were due to play another match (in a different competition) at Holbrook. The opponents had refused to reschedule the game, hoping that they would beat an already tired team. So the team returned to Renishaw, had a sandwich, and got back on the bus. They went to Holbrook, and won that match as well. |
| Hobby | 1946 | He was interested in football all his life. He began to support Manchester United, and continued to do so until his death. |
| Residence | before 31 July 1947 | He and Annie West lived at 14 The Bungalows, Pitt Street, in Eckington, DerbyshireG, from before 31 July 1947 It was a brand new house, one of many erected after the war to alleviate the housing shortage. The bungalows were constructed to a standard design and assembled from ready-made units, which is why the estate was known as "The Pre-Fabs" (from 'pre-fabricated'). They were intended to be temporary, but many were still in use 60 years later. |
| Occupation | about 1951 | He changed jobs about 1951 in Eckington, DerbyshireG. He went to work at Renishaw Park colliery, between Eckington and Staveley, as a service fitter. Most of the job was repairing old equipment to keep it going a bit longer. He worked shifts, which he hated because he "couldn't eat during the night" as his body "didn't work that way". He also often had to stay beyond the end of his shift to fix a problem that had occurred. He didn't like that either. His wife definitely didn't like it (all her family had been miners, and her father died of a mining-related illness), but it was the best paid job he could get. He was eventually contacted by the manager of Atco Motor Mowers in Eckington, who finally offered him a job as an area representative. He left the pit and went back into the fresh air. |
| Hobby | 1952 | He was photographed in 1952 in Eckington, DerbyshireG, There is a photograph of the Eckington Miner's Welfare Football team for 1952, which features Frank. It shows, on the Back Row: Alan Green, Bob Lindley, Peter Gingell, Joe Cutts, Charlie Nightingale, Doug Adams, Leslie Freeman, Dick Turton, Bernard Powell, Cyril Hartley, Joe Cole, Fred King and on the Front Row: Horace Gee, Bernard Preston, Bob Oscroft, Len Cook, Harold Millward, Stan Haywood, Frank Lowe. |
| Address | 1957 | He and Annie West lived at 26 Pinfold Street in Eckington, DerbyshireG, in 1957 This was a brand new Council house. They moved because they expected the bungalow to be pulled down in the near future, but it wasn't demolished until 2015. |
| Occupation | about 1960 | About 1960 Frank Lowe changed jobs. He returned to work for Atco, and was allocated the area of the West Riding of Yorkshire which covered most of the region's Rugby League teams. Because the nature of his work was repairing motor mowers, he became friendly with most of the groundsmen - and especially Trevor Hall at Wakefield Trinity. He managed to obtain tickets when they played in the Cup Final at Wembley on more than one occasion. He had this area for 3 years, and worked from Eckington as a base. Then there was some disciplinary trouble with the man who worked the Sheffield area, and he left. Frank was given two options: work the Sheffield area, or keep the West Riding but relocate to Wakefield for the convenience of the Company. He chose to stay in Eckington and work around Sheffield. He covered Sheffield and the Peak District, which cut his ties to the Rugby clubs but allowed him to establish links with Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday, which also resulted in many free tickets for matches. Reg Barker, the groundsman at Bramall Lane, became a particular friend. |
| Misc | 1985 | He finally bought a telephone. |
| Cremation | 10 December 2003 | He attended the Cremation of his wife on 10 December 2003 in Chesterfield, DerbyshireG, A service was held at Eckington Parish Church at 1:15 pm, where at Nan's request the hymns "The Church's One Foundation" and "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" were sung.

He remained in hospital until 3rd September and then returned home, but had become forgetful and nervous. |
| Note | 30 October 2016 | He experienced illness on 30 October 2016 in Eckington, DerbyshireG. He fell again, in the house, and was found by a friend who went to check when he didn't phone as usual. He had been given an alarm linked to his telephone after the previous fall, but didn't activate it. He was taken to Calow hospital again. |
| Address | 15 November 2016 | He changed address, and moved to April Park Care Home, Curlew Road, in Eckington, DerbyshireG. When he left hospital for the second time, he moved into a care home as he was no longer capable of living alone. This home was still in the village he had lived in for 74 years (although it was at the other end) and was near to his best friend, so visiting would be easier for her. He had his own room, and was well cared for, though he became increasingly withdrawn. |
| Note | 29 May 2018 | He celebrated his 100th birthday on 29 May 2018 in Eckington, DerbyshireG, He received a card from the Queen. Janet, Geoff, and Pauline Lee (his companion for the last few years) visited him and helped open cards and presents. He seemed to be pleased, and was in good spirits. |

| Will | 12 August 2019 | He had made a will, which was finalised on on 12 August 2019. Frank made Geoff the executor of his will, but Geoff appointed Taylor & Emmet LLP, solicitors, of Arundel Gate in Sheffield to do the work on his behalf. {The total estate amounted to £32,017.67. The solicitor's fees were £2,301.90, leaving £29,715.77 to be distributed equally between Geoff and Hazel. This can be contrasted with the estate of Frank's father Richard, who left £76 10/- when he died in 1946. Even allowing for inflation etc, Frank was wealthier than his dad.}. |
| Cremation | after May 2020 | He was cremated after May 2020 in Sheffield, South YorkshireG, He wanted his body to used for medical research and training after his death, and so arrangements were made to give it the the Medical Training School at Sheffield University.

Richard Lowe, a Mosbro' miner, of 69, South street, went out on the 12th inst, leaving the back window fastened by three nails. On his return he found that the window had been opened and he missed a pocket knife and a pipe, and also a sum of 4s 9d from two money boxes. He told P.C. Bennett about the matter and the officer found the missing pipe and knife in the ceiling of Satterley's coalhouse. When spoken to, Joseph put the blame on his brother Leonard who, he said, went into the house, but Leonard's story was the opposite and said that Joseph got in through the window. The boys showed the policeman where they had hidden the money on the floor in the coalhouse.

| Criminal | 11 June 1863 | She was involved in Court proceedings on 11 June 1863 in Eckington, DerbyshireG, concerned in legal proceedings at the Derbyshire Midsummer Assizes, as a result of an incident on 11th June 1863. A report in the Derby Mercury of 5th August 1863 describes the case like this: Rape At Eckington Henry JENNINGS, 37, moulder, was charged with assaulting and ravishing Maria WELLS, on the 11th June, 1863, at Eckington. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr CAVE prosecuted, and Mr. Fitzjames STEPHEN appeared for the defence. Mr. CAVE opened the case, stating that the prosecutrix is a married woman, and that on the day in question she had been to Eckington to get a summons. On her return she was encountered by the prisoner, about half a mile from Eckington, and told him to go off home. He used a brutal expression, and she went on her way, but had only come a few yards when he overtook her and renewed his importunities. Being again refused he proceeded to assault prosecutrix, and being a powerful fellow, succeeded by violence in committing the offence alleged in the indictment. A woman came up, and her presence caused the prisoner to release the prosecutrix and to offer her money to say nothing of the matter. The prosecutrix gave evidence to this effect, and was cross-examined at considerable length by Mr. STEPHEN as to her antecedents, and with respect to having said that the prisoner had not paid her according to agreement. She denied this, and her evidence did not appear to be materially shaken. Additional corroborative evidence was given, and Mr. J. T. JONES, surgeon, proved that upon the person of the prosecutrix were several bruises and other indications of violence. The prisoner's statement was then put in to the effect that he had been previously on intimate terms with the woman, and that because he had no money to give her, she had brought the present charge against him. Mr. STEPHEN then addressed the jury in defence of the prisoner, calling their attention to discrepancies in the evidence of the prosecutrix, and to contradictions on the part of the witnesses who were brought to corroborate her. He earnestly entreated the jury, in an able and argumentative speech, to be careful how they convicted the prisoner of an offence which was one most easily alleged and most difficult to disprove. He pointed out to them that the prisoner's statement was not inconsistent with the truth, and that the however immoral his conduct might have been, yet that the law was meant to protect the meanest of Her Majesty's subjects, even the immoral. His Lordship then reviewed the evidence, and impartially commented upon its bearings for and against the prisoner. After consulting for twenty minutes, the jury were asked if they were likely to agree. The Foreman – No my Lord we're not. I think it would be a good thing to lock us up all night. The Judge – I have already told you gentleman that the onus of proof is with the prosecution; if you think there is reasonable doubt, you are bound to give the prisoner the benefit of it. Another consultation took place with no better result, for at five minutes past four a bailiff was sworn and they were locked up. Late at night they returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence was postponed." A later report appeared in a Saturday edition of the newspaper, probably that of 1st August 1863, giving the sentence imposed on JENNINGS. "Henry JENNINGS, convicted last night of rape, was sentenced to five years' penal servitude". However, http://www.multiline.com.au/~jeand/jweb/data/1863.html states that on 29th July 1863, Jennings was sentenced to 6 years custody. The same source adds that on 28th Nov 1863 a letter was sent from the Secretary of State's office (presumably the Home Secretary) to the Chief Constable of Derby requesting an enquiry into character of the prosecutrix, Maria Wells. This suggests that Jennings appealed his conviction, but as yet no record has been found. The 1861 census shows only one Maria Wells in the area. Henry Jennings lived in Renishaw, which Maria would pass through if she walked from Barlborough to Eckington. This event must throw doubt on the parentage of Ellen Wells, born 1864. It also raises other issues: what was Maria's character?, why was she going to get a summons?, who was the woman who intervened and why is she not named in the report? |

| Criminal | 7 August 1863 | She was involved in Court proceedings on 7 August 1863 in Eckington, DerbyshireG, From the Derbyshire Advertiser and Journal: CRIMINAL ASSAULT AT ECKINGTON Henry Jennings, moulder, aged 37, was charged with committing a criminal assault on Maria Wells, a married woman, on the 11th June, at Eckington. Mr. Cave conducted the case for the prosecution; the prisoner was defended by Mr Stephen. The prosecutrix, who resides with her husband at Clown, had been on business at Eckington, from whence she started on her return home about six o'clock in the evening. When about half-a-mile from Eckington, she saw the prisoner standing on the road, who accosted her and made improper proposals to her, offering her a sum of money. She refused to comply with his requests, but he continued to follow her, repeating his propositions, which she still resisted, when he seized her, carried her to the side of a plantation, where he succeeded in accomplishing its purpose with a considerable degree of violence. She screamed out "murder", and requested him to let her go, but he told her to "hold her soft noise". She fought with him very much, and at length succeeded in escaping from him, and ran on the road towards her home. The prisoner, however, again followed her, and endeavoured to repeat his brutal conduct, but a woman appearing on the role he desisted, and offered her various sums of money not to say anything about the matter, but she refused to accept, and went to the Renishaw tolgate-house to ask for a drink of water, and informed of the keeper of what had occurred, pointing out the prisoner, who was passing through the gate, and inquiring his name. The gatekeeper knowing him, gave the prosecutrix the required information, and she informed Inspector Tregar, of Clown, who apprehended the prisoner on the following day, when he denied the charge. The prisoner's statement before the magistrates was put in and read, wherein he stated that he had previously been intimate with the prosecutrix, but denied having done so on the night in question, alleging that because he had not any money to give her she had threatened to have revenge on him. After a trial of upwards of four hours, the jury consulted together for a considerable time, when the foreman announced to the learned Judge that they were unable to agree upon their verdict, and they were at length directed to retire and give the case their further consideration. At the rising of the court the jury had not returned their verdict. Ultimately, however, the prisoner was found guilty, and on Saturday morning he was sentenced to 6 years penal servitude, after protesting his innocence. The prisoner has a wife and five children. Another jury having been sworn, the Court proceeded with the other trials. |
