replied on: 7/12/2006 11:42:47 PM Yes, imagine you have come out the front door of one of the cottages then across the path. You then open the gate and have a garden the width (maybe a bit more) of the cottage. They were about 50 yds deep with some tall trees forming the boundary with the cemetary. I seem to remember the trees being very tall and being a rookery as well. It has probably lost the trees by now but that is what I remember from the mid 50s. regards Phil |

replied on: 7/12/2006 11:49:05 PM as you go down towards the cemetery from the orchards and get the metal fence,there is a gate there that obviously isn't used anymore,but i wonder when it was closed off. |

replied on: 10/26/2006 3:29:55 PM although we would all like to go back in time and see everything like it used to be,i suppose we ought to be grateful that the church has gone and the old people's home is about to go..it was just a breeding ground for ways and strays...still it would be nice if someone could come on the forum with some pictures of how it used to be. |
