'the Red House' Farm In Seasalter/ The Coppins's
A Memory of Seasalter.
My mother, Jill Coppins (née Shaw) lived in Seasalter with the Coppins family who adopted her from about 1946 to when she left about 10 years later. She lived in a farm house which was by a railway embankment. I think the farmhouse was commonly know as the red house, I don't know if that was the actual name of the farm. I went there in 1978 with my mother, who has since died, and the building was no longer there. I would like any one who has memories of that farm or the Coppins's from around that time to let me know any details about the family or farm.

I was so happy to see someone had replied. I am going to Kent for a week holiday tomorrow so Have been trying to see if I can spot where the house would have been, I know she talked about the red house but your information is very useful. My mum used to talk about an older lady called Mrs Teller who she was very fond of and who kept Pomeranian dogs. She was still there in 1978 and it was lovely that my mum got to take us to see her then. I don’t really recall your name, what was your mum called?
Thank you for the lovely words about my mum. She was a lovely person, kind and funny though not very confident but being adopted was not easy. Do you remember the Coppins? I don’t think she really kept in touch with them, she left seasalter and went back to London where she met my dad and then had me and my sister Lisa. This has made my day reading your message, so lovely. Lorraine
