Hi, is this building still here does anyone know where it is/was? In my family history I had a relative who lived here Joseph Bassnett and his wife Margaret Caunce with her family.

Hi, I think this house may have been next door to us . it would have been number 14. We live at the Knoll which is number 12. I am trying to find some old pictures of our house. If anyone has any I would be very interested to take a look.

This was my childhood home. Dad bought it in 1956 when I was seven. In the early 70’s I and my elder sisters had left home so dad had it demolished and built a bungalow. Later owners sold off part of the land and another bungalow was built. Great place to live as my bedroom overlooked the man line in the days of steam
