Annie Elizabeth Turner (nee Bennett), 1910 to 2014. Annie was born in a cottage adjacent to Two Gates Ragged School, Cradley and was a lifelong member of its congregation. This movie short tells some of the story of the life of Annie and was recorded by Cradley Heath Film as part of a Sharing Heritage project funded by Heritage Lottery Fund and managed by members of Midland Film And Art. In 2017 the project celebrates the sesquicentenary (150 years) of Two Gates Ragged School, which is one of a handful of Ragged Schools that still survive.  Annie married John Turner (known as Jack) and more can be found out about their story by visiting the Two Gates Ragged School website.
