John McDonald is available to speak about Halton and Milton's histories during the day, evenings or on weekends by appointment. John has researched the history of the Halton area since 1970, an interest which started when he began inquiring into the Limehouse and Dolly Varden areas where he spent his youth as the eldest of nine children.
