I was then just  3 years old ... a year before my  walkabout with the baboons ... no memory   of it being built ..  thereafter i  have memory  of the  huge gardens  and  we used  to  scale the fence and  play  there ...  on  dread of being caught ...  one  day  I remember  we  even ambled into the house  and  walked around  unchallenged ...  a total contrats to our homes  slate floors in the entrance hall ,,, nice uge lounge and entertaining area ... etc ...

Alf you're right. Look directly up from the circle, the long house, you can see the front door and the first bedroom window, thats my old house. In this pic that house is about 3years old, the date cast into the underside of the laundry trough was August 1956. Look to the right and the next house was Diana's, you can just see a wee bit of the end of the roof. This house is quite a bit older than mine (35-1).
