The row of cottages on the left was where my great grandma and granddad brought up lots of kids and even took wartime evacuees. I remember Dinah from Wembley used to visit up to the 80s when she passed away. They were knocked down about 1968. Mr Bell lived behind these and used to kill pigs in his garden shed. My grandad walked here to Shardale Farm to work daily. About 8 mile round trip. He was called George Dunn. Joe Kirkland lived in mid cottage and Maud Bell in bigger house.
