The Grange

A Memory of Hellidon.

My Grand Parents Mr and Mrs Burbidge lived in Ambleside cottage and worked in the Grange. Its owners then were Mr and Mrs collier and Miss Hewitt. As young school boy 60 years ago I used to go and help Mr Franklin the gardener which gave me my interest in gardening which I later took as my job.
In the large garden was a summer house on rails which could be spun round to follow the sun.
One of long lasting memories is being taken to Leamington in the James Young Rolls Royce. The coachwork being made as one off for this car.
Fond memories of an age when you doffed your cap to your betters.
