Hi Paul, thank you very much for taking this photograph of what was once my grandmother's house, where she lived in her earlier years. The additional researched information is a huge bonus. Where did you find that from?! You will never know how grateful I am.

You're welcome David; other new photos taken at the same time. Info from books I have on Newbury history, in particular, the West Mills area and its buildings.
