Re: Brick, Red Brick Barn, Hapton

No Taddy the Hilda you mention is not any relation of mine. My aunt was Hilda Gregory who lived in Enfield Road, next to bottom house. Speaking of coffins, when my G,Grandfather died he was too large for them to get him down the stairs of the cottage so they had to take the window out. My dad always said the cottage he lived in though was to the right of the pub in what is now the car park. I only have that to go off as he died in Jan 1935. Another story was that when he was dying he said if they let him go 'across' to the Bull he would cure himself. That sounds like he was where dad said and not a cottage attached to the pub.
