To paraphrase; A Yorkshiremans home is his etc..... :lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol:
It's not that big, Ben Kentzer can vouch for the modest size of it, he came up not long after we moved in
No seriously, it was built on land that belonged to the owner of the local brickworks.
According to the 1899 deeds, it & the adjacent semi, were built essentially as show-houses to display his bricks & tradesmens skills.
I know they're good quality bricks from when I've tried to drill them
The original gardens were over 300yards long when built :shock: :shock: :shock:
The present day plot was 450foot front to back, but the previous owners sold off about 130foot & there's a house in our back-garden :twisted:
By the way 'Jim', do you know this building in Heckmondwike (don't know if I've asked you before??)

Well I know she's been talking to her mum & dad about another trip to CapeTown in January/February& & possibly Turkey in October.
I wonder if I can swing her round to Australia, or Japan.
Even going back to Canada sounds good :D (but not as good as a 90)
