Brave, sage John Maclean has passed away but the funeral service at Springwood Crematorium, Allerton, was a life affirming and celebratory gathering of family and friends that THE SCRIBE would have been proud of.

Henry Tate was a successful grocer by the middle of the nineteenth century but by its end he was Britain’s Rockefeller and much of that was due to his time ON THE LANE. What follows below is only a brief couple of quotations but it firms up our categories of ON THE LANE and BEYOND THE LANE

This project was inspired ON THE LANE but like the granulated crystals produced in Henry Tate’s mother refinery, stretches way BEYOND THE LANE! The history of LOVE LANE and the wider world of sugar were inextricably linked but we’ve decided that a better “division of labour” in terms of how the “blogs” are produced would be to separate out ON and BEYOND THE LANE stories.

I have just heard the sad news that one of my two main sugar mentors, John Maclean died yesterday surrounded by his close family. He was a wonderful man, former City and County Councillor as well as the SCRIBE who penned so many letters and essays about the struggle to keep Love Lane refinery open. He will not be forgotten and his role in the film and in inspiring this project ensures that his legacy will live on.
John Maclean is at the far right of the photograph and his friend Albert E Sloane on the far left.
