This photo shows all that remains from the main outbuilding that once stood in the grounds of the now demolished vicarage on Beacon road. My thanks to HQ for allowing this recent photo to be seen for comparison to the very much older original (Item 20589).

'Parsons Slack Ebay' allows that original to be enlarged.

Shadows haunt thy pallet,
to paint what came before,
to bring again what was then,
and dawn again once more..
Shadows don't deny me,
what hides within thy walls,
to follow footstep memories ,
that beckon daily calls...
I only have my pencils,
and sketch pad for to draw,
to capture what you tell me,
and remember what I saw.
They might be only memories,
but each of those are mine,
those treasures are within me ,
of when I came one time..
