Old House

Hi, I was born in Stafford and emigrated to Australia in 1975 and I have not revisited England since. Me and my older sister remember vividly exploring 2 old houses (Im unsure of how old they were) which were demolished in the early to mid 1970s. One was a white brick what seemed like a mansion to us at the time and the other was a dark old house which was right next to now Barnfields Primary School.(the white house was also in same vicinity). We used to visit Fourboys shop regularly with friends 'The Dodds' - Mark, Steven and Jackie, also a Jane Miller (only child). I am almost obsessed with finding out re: these houses and their history / photos. Can anyone shine a light? It's pretty hard when you are on the other side of the world.
