Robert Toole
Sadly Robert Toole (pictured above) a Socialist who fought for his rights against eviction from his home Leven Cottage and won, died suddenly recently after a short illness. Robert was and remains an inspiration to all who struggle against the system for their rights! The Vale and Leven Cottage his home will be a sadder place without Robert. I was honoured and privledged to have known Robert.
Annie Cardiff
Sadly Annie passed away on 8th August 2007 in her 86th year. Annie will remain an inspiration to us all by winning her eviction battle against a Labour Council who tried to evict her from her home of 26 years....Leven Cottage in Alexandria. Annie will be sadly missed by all who met her. She was a lovely reserved woman who cherished others and put her family and friends before herself. Annie was a star and will remain in the hearts of thousands of local people who came to know and love her over the years in Leven Cottage.
