Is this the same Charlie Mathers who became a well known Skipton undertaker? I don't know if he is still with us, but his premises used to be at the back of the post office in Swadford street in 1969. He used to attend funerals with a top hat on and I remember the whiskers in the middle of his cheeks! I worked at J P Mewies & Co, Solicitors in Swadford Street at the time. My father was Rector of Bolton Abbey (priory) 1961 to 1977.
