Brent Woolhouse My mum lived there when she was younger, lost a gold ring through a crack in the stairs. (And she would like it back) She’s now 81 and told me out of the blue a week or so ago. What sort of info are you after. I vaguely remember something about a hair dressers?

TJ Greaves Brent Woolhouse hi there we are looking for as much information as we can....right back to when or who built it and in what year...we want to know the stories and the people...basically I would like to find as Much I can ...we are going to try to hold as much history as we can...ps sorry about the ring, there are no stairs but if we find something we will let you know

Brent Woolhouse It was when she was sitting on the back/front wooden outside steps. And I’ll ask her to jot down a couple of things and I think we have a couple of pictures somewhere

TJ Greaves Bev Freitas the Burrell family was the barbar.... would anyone know about them and their time at the property?

Brent Woolhouse Having trouble finding them but this one about early 1950’s

Brent Woolhouse Apparently my grandfather removed the room which was attached out the front. In the late 40’s. It went out to near the footpath
