Castle Hill 1929
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

The building jutting out into Castle Hill on the left upper of this picture is no. 17 and was my Great Uncle Luther Paxton's plumbers shop. The shop was on the ground floor and he and his wife, Amy lived on the upper two floors. They were visited at this address in 1948 by Luther's sister-in-law (from Wisconsin), Elsa Paxton, following the death of Luther's brother George in 1945. She wrote a diary during her 5 month stay which includes extensive descriptions of this house, Richmond, the Dales and many other places she visited. See www.1948diary.com.
