Anyone have any information about this house, from any time period?
The Long family owned a bakery and confectionery shop in Portishead. Evidently the business was in the family for at least 3 generations-William Long, his son Alford Long, and his daughter Amy Beatrice Long as late as 1911. Alford's descendants who emigrated to the United States would like to find out more about the family.
My grandmother lived at 'Staddle Stone', Portishead and I am trying to find where her house may have been; it overlooked the channel. Can anyone help me please..
I was born in Park House, Portishead in 1930. My grandmother was Ada Alice Crees (nee Seymour), who came to Somerset as a baby, but her brother was left behind in Wales with a relative. They lost contact for many years but but were reunited in 1940. The Clevedon Mercury Newspaper ran a story on this, does anyone know where I could obtain a copy of this? I spent many happy days in Portishead and often return to the area.
