Lower house farm...

I think this is more likely to be the 'Dale' estate?

If you follow the line of the hedge/path from where the High Grove pub now stands towards the railway line it coincides with the path that runs along the edge of the golf course.. there's also a hedge line that runs along what is now Grassmere rd, the third field from st annes rd is where High Grove infants school stood.. the golf course butted up to the school grounds. to the rear of the houses on the modern day Grassmere rd was a thin line of know-mans land which may have been a path at one time. it was about 3 ft wide.. this was in the early 80's.

Another local house that burned down.

I grew up in a modern house built here.. in the 70's my dad unearthed a cobbled path and some clay pipes while digging the garden.. for years we still had a pair of Barn Owls visit the old Oak trees at the back of the house.

Bought by a local builder in the early 80's and burned down shortly after..??? Later that year the same local builder built a modern house on the site.
