I forget where exactly. I do spend some time pondering where it could have been. She could speak Welsh and had a Welsh accent when it suited her.
She was born in Cowbar - near Staithes, just north of Whitby.
Her mothers family are all from around there but her father was a Welsh iron miner deployed to Whitby during WW1 (First Welsh Cyclists or somesuch) where he met my gran.
He was stationed in an house very close to the one where Bram Stoker wrote Dracula - will come back to that.
Shipped out to the Somme where he was gassed, never the same again.
They moved to Wales and she grew up there then in her late teens they returned to live in Staithes, then Whitby.
She was conscripted when her employer died (private nurse) and she went to Cornwall for basic training then back to Whitby for a while - there were some heavy coastal defences there at the time.
She was allocated a corner of a room in a former hotel on the sea front, close to the guns.
Her parents went to see her there and she was in the same corner of the same room in the same hotel that her father had been billeted during the first world war.

After the spray-on PlusGas has freed it off, use spray 'White' grease or motor-cycle chain-grease spray - both include a volatile solvent which gets the grease into mechanisms (also the business for height correctors mechanisms once freed-off).
