South Milton, 1927

The Quillett

Just a quick message to say that the cottage on the left that comes down to the road in the photo is ours. It is now called the Quillett, we have restored it back to its former glory, and makes a wonderful home. Thank you for the wonderful photo from your collection.
Regards,
Graham Jinks.

This was my home in 1969 for a few years.

I used to live in the first house on the left side of the photo 'Thurlestone Cottages 1890', in 1969 for a number of years. The house was then called 'Thatchways'. The smaller cottages attached to the main house are now missing; I believe they were destroyed many years before. We did however discover the old flagstone floor under the front lawn!!

I lived in Hope Cove

I lived in the coastguard station from about 1952 to 1955. I spent alot of time sitting on the sea wall in the summer. I worked for a time at Greystones Guest house. I met my future husband in Hope Cove, he lived in a house that his father built called Homelea next to the Grand view hotel. About 1955 I moved to Bolt Head,Coastguard Station and went to work in the post office at Malborough.
