]]> Comment on The difference a decade makes… by Dominic H http://affable-lurking.org/blog/2007/10/29/the-difference-a-decade-makes/#comment-31767 Dominic H Sat, 09 Jul 2011 12:13:08 +0000 http://affable-lurking.org/blog/2007/10/29/the-difference-a-decade-makes/#comment-31767 I spent more than 10 years as a child and teenager in one of the "new" houses on the Leys/Rookery Farm estate in that picture. My understanding is that the estate was built in 1947 (and the houses supposedly had a 15-year life expectancy! Sure, they've had much renovation, on numerous occasions since, but they are still basically in good nick - much more so than some of the newer estates built, and in some cases demolished, since). So I also suspect that the earlier photo is somewhat earlier than 1950. Earlier than 1947, too.

I would guess keeping your house really clean would be the easiest thing. The tricky thing about roaches is that they can come into the house in a grocery bag or a box or something. We have traps for ants, we don't have roaches here, it must be too hot. I guess you could call an exterminator and see what options they have.

]]> Comment on Local history Monday Tuesday by Tony Scott http://affable-lurking.org/blog/2008/03/18/local-history-monday-tuesday/#comment-31559 Tony Scott Tue, 06 Jul 2010 18:42:58 +0000 http://affable-lurking.org/blog/2008/03/18/local-history-monday-tuesday/#comment-31559 I am interested in more info regarding this house. 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.
