The Thatched Cottages 1936
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My mum was born in this thatched cottage in 1946, my nan Margaret Jane Quinn born 1925 lived here with her family beforehand. It was originally two cottages and my nan's mother and father lived next door, they were James Campbell and Mary Campbell. My nan told me many a great story of her home and also of the locals in the village during wartimes. My nan died in 2010 at the grand age of 93, she was probably one of the oldest residents still local.
