"Miss Mary Day Winn of New York, a woman of elegance and grace, is captured in this vintage photograph as she is helped aboard LZ 129 H. The year was 1936, and the world was captivated by the wonders of air travel. Meanwhile, at the Primrose League Ball, the Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava engaged in lively conversation with the Hon. Charles Winn. It was an evening filled with glamour and sophistication. In another corner of society, a secret Watteau party took place under mysterious circumstances. Unbeknownst to many, it was actually arranged by Heather herself. The page from The Sketch reveals snippets of this clandestine affair held at Nostell Priory in Yorkshire – a grand mansion originally built by James Paine for Sir Rowland. Amidst all these tales lies Frederick Knight's Grumman G. 159 Gulfstream I N18N named Marco Polo – a symbol of adventure and exploration that traversed vast distances through the skies. Anona Winn MBE (born Anona Edna Wilkins) emerges as an intriguing figure from history who made her mark in 1935. Her legacy lives on even today. Moving away from high society events to sporting triumphs, we witness Greyhound "Movealong Sam" basking in glory after winning Cleveland Park's prestigious race. As Merseyside bathes in sunshine during those golden days gone by, two Wirral fashion and photographic models shine brightly against nature's backdrop. And finally returning to Nostell Priory once more – its majestic presence standing tall amidst Yorkshire's landscape serves as a reminder of its rich history. " Note.
