Leachcroft I believe was built just after the war - I guess that's why it's not mentioned.

Yeah, it's a shame.  I think our place was built in the '60s sometime, not sure exactly when. It does say somewhere on my wall under the wallpaper though. It's quite a good read, as the walls have bee written all over and it gets well preserved under all the paste.  ------------- Allez Wasps Rick Olim vespa, semper vespa |

I'm sure ReTro that in a hundred years or so Time Team will be making a whole programme on the history of your home when they uncover your walls scrapping the wall paper back one layer at a time  ------------- Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else. |
