My sister lives in an old workers' cottage that's over 100 years old, and the most information on her place came from her old neighbour across the road. He knew the ins and outs of all the residents in the neighbourhood. Great stuff!

I should look into the history of my house too, though very likely it was built without planning permission since it was just a hunting cabin, no services at all. <br /><br />When I lived in Sydney some houses had dunnies still, always with honeysuckle planted round them, splintering wood and squares of newspapers on a nail, how bracing. And flies, lots of flies. Some improvements really are improvements!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
