Can any of these buildings be identified?

Anne Conaghan

Heather Newby
Anne Conaghan yes.. its intriguing
Anne Packer
I visited there two years ago. Hard to visualize it as a once upon a time busy town. I did read Denniston Rose which helped. This photo is amazing

Shirley Barrow
Anne Packer was given this book to read. Helped me understand what hardships they went through.

Anne Packer
Shirley Barrow yes, it was pretty gritty. There is a sequel book Heart of Coal

Shirley Barrow
Thanks, will tell my sister in law, she loves "Rose." Will try and track it down when libraries reopen.

Heather Newby
Anne Packer yes,, imagine living where its foggy and raining a lot with noi soil for gardens

Shirley Barrow
Lived on the Coast for several yrs, hated the weather in Grey Valley, so hate to think what living in the hills in those conditions would've been like.
