My birthplace

I was born in the master bedroom on the main floor to the existing owners of Anstie.
During our 3 years there we converted it to suites and modernised it considerably.
On the day that I was born there were construction workers in the house and one of them cried when he heard the sound of a newborn baby, I was told many times.
My parents split in 1956 and my mother sold it and moved to Canada. She regretted the move all her life as it was a special place for her.
She trimmed the yew hedge diligently and was delighted to see how it had been maintained 30 years later when she visited it.
I have a few pictures of it then inside and out.
