A wonderful piccy. I think we have lost so much in the way of character buildings and homes in general over the years.

My grandfather Henry Derbyshire was born at 3 Vine Grove back in 1886 and in 1891 all my relatives are there - Thomas (my g grandfather), Elizabeth (my g grandmother), Annie, Alice, Jane, Maggie, William and Henry. Can't believe all that is left is some cobblestones on the road now - thanks for posting this picture - it's the nearest I can get to imagining what it was like there!
