Dear Editor,

I would like to bring you up to date with the Swiss Cottage in Weyhill Road.

We purchased the plot in 1976. The building on the land is a bungalow which we built in 1978/79, we moved in late 1979. We are still living there in 2022 which is 44 years.

We saved the chimney pots. They are plant pots. Four at the front of the bungalow, at the top of the steps too. One was made into a well in the back garden.

Also the roof tiles and ridge tiles are now on the garage roof at the back of the plot.

Also part of the old house is now the back wall of the conservatory.

There was also a small cellar built under the cottage. Also to the side of the pantry is a small out brick building which was used as a workshop. It is still there as a garden shed.

Also there was a well and an air raid shelter at the top of the garden.
