The cottage I was born in.

I went on a virtual journey to see what it looks like now and in 2014 it as worth almost 1/2 a million, it was owned by two sisters in 1953 which is the year I was born, they allowed us to live there rent free because Dad was recovering from rheumatic fever and couldn’t work. When Dad took me there about 8 or 9 years ago it was still owned and rented out by the same family. I don’t know yet when it was built though. |

I was born in a farm cottage that was built in 1808. My grandfather had been born in the same room some eighty odd years before. |

That’s interesting Sharron, I just love that sort of story, I’ll see if I can find out more about “my” cottage. |

It is only half a mile away (no gypsy in my soul!). |

This is one of the old council houses, they were built to the same pattern as farm cottages, largely for the benefit of farm workers. |
