Heather Newby me too Peter Westwood I used to love exploring them when i was a kid. They have a distinctive smell inside...like a smell of damp paper.Remember the scrim hanging from the walls and the old brown wallpaper with faded flowers.

Many a wonderful time spent in that house during the school holidays years ago with Uncle Don and aunt Jean and Jenny & Peter. Those really were the BEST times.

Don and Jean McBrides House back in the Day.Don was my Mothers Brother and we often Stayed There.We Lived down the Road in a Mill House.We always called it down the Flat.When I look back now I often Wonder why the Road down The Flat wasn’t called Mc Bride Road.

Unless I'm mistaken, it looks just like the house that the Dehn family also lived in ? (Arthur Dehn - whose mother, Lillian Chinn was my great Aunt)
