Where abouts was this Dennis, Cant seem to place it. Are you related to a Frank Seddon that lived at the bottom of Ivy Brow.

Cindy, before you get to Jolley's Row there is a white house called "The Old Schoolhouse", the barn was across the road from there.If you look at my photo "the Wutchie" Aspull 3 you will see the white house lower left, the barn is in the front and to the right of this house.
