Can only remember the one Rindi, but think that's the one your Mother is on about, would be great to see a photo of that house again after all these years, There was the Gate house, which I think is still inhabited to day. Spent all my youth in and around the Plantation as it was known in those days, even though I wasn't allowed to venture in there by my parents, think we called it adventure in those days, just like trying fags and the like for the first time.
