Back then I had a Kodak Disc film based camera and the results technically were disappointing even when some years later I had the pictures reprinted by a superior photo laboratory and since then on here and on the other blog I've featured similar images aided in part by being able to host them on a site and also by using better equipment that is also digital which makes it easier to host.
This was one of the first of the originals, a couple of nineteenth century cottages just within the village boundary near to the canal bridge our last entry was taken from that contains many of its original features although the skylight on the right no doubt for a loft bedroom does take away something and was not present back in 1986.
The gardens to the side and rear were quite extensive enjoying being out playing in them at the time.
This was the house a family I knew as I went to school with Steven and Christine Hamnett who was a Brownie lived in at the time and going further down the road toward the Mere set off down a short narrow track was the big Georgian house the Bateman's lived which I'd stop at when visiting Andrew, another schoolboy friend who you might say was fairly well to do and very influential in the district.
I kept in touch with them for a very long time.
