Title: The wooden house out at Pigsville!
Post by: Michael Alexander on August 10, 2007, 03:25:23 PM
In the 70's when Pigsville was demolished, the company left an old wooden house standing among some dried out wooden trees, we used to play down there a lot.... Does anyone remember this house, and if so who stayed there? What was it used for?

I remember visiting a friend  Andrew Hewitt strings to mind, and discovering that they lived in a house unlike any I'd seen before.  It was a wooden clap board structure with rooms that interled, no passage or enterance hall.
I don't think it was in Pigsville, I think it was in 11th avenue and I believe the answer to my childish questions was that they were contracters.  I thought it very romantic and gypsy like.  Cosy and friendly.

Barbara, there still is about 4 of those wooden structures being used up at 11th and 12th avenue, being used by church's and non-company employees..... I think i must pop over there and get a snap....
