I remember as a child around 1965 walking past this house on a daily basis walking with my mum from Marks Gate to Five Elms shops. The info given above states that the house was bombed out years earlier. From recollection the front garden had two very large trees, (one I think was a Monkey puzzle tree) and there was also a pond with large goldfish and lily pads afloat. The whalebones went from there to Valence house where they stayed for many years, but I don't think they are there anymore. As a small child this house gave me many nightmares for some reason, and has always had a permanent place in my mind. {Should I take more tablets...???} I hope you can shed some light......nostalga is great......Thanks.
