'Diane Uttley (Diane Shireen Uttley')''' was born in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. The daughter of Ann Marr, the 3rd & youngest child & the only girl in the family.

Diane was educated at Cross Green High School, Leeds & attended Loughborough Uni to study Drama & Computer Studies & drama at Leeds college with an audition for RADA but instead, met & married Douglas.J.Uttley.

In 1988 Diane moved with her husband to Cavendish Avenue, Leeds LS15 8UP (Google Maps) with & Chinzty the Siamese cat. Life was about to dramatically change when in the early hours of Sunday morning September 22nd 1988, Diane had a series of strange dreams about a man she did not know. At 8.30am she awoke with a start & had the extreme urge to buy the The Sunday Time's Newspaper. At that moment in time, this was the most important act she had to do in her life. Inside the arts section, was the first segment of writer Micheal Holroyd's Official Biographey of playwright "George Bernard Shaw", ' The Search For Love,' with picture's of the man in Diane's Dreams & she fell in love, instantly. This was the start of a long & ghostly journy & at 6pm Monday the 16th October 1989, Diane was employed as Custodian of & moved into Bernard Shaw's home Shaw's Corner, now owned by The National Trust given to them by Shaw before his death in 1950. The dream was just begining.
