Alton 2003

A quite recent memory but I visited in 2003 thanks to the kindness of my relative Josephine Dixon [dec.]. We are both related to the Byatt and Collis families from Alton. It was great to see where our family lived and worked, including the White Hart Inn [owned by George Collis and Susannah Clewley mid 1800s] and a shop with the Byatt name still above the door, now selling kitchen tiles as well as memorabilia. I bought a print of the Alton valley and managed to get it back to Australia in one piece for my mum. And a little pottery/porcelain trinket box for my daughter.
