Moorhead Terrace Easington this time, consisting of three cottages. Corner Cottage, sold for £460 and wow it had electric light. The next cottage also had electric light, but water was still obtained from the fountain across the road. The last on the terrace was the police house, electric light but no running water.
Thanks go to Mrs Waton for loaning us this catalogue.

I don’t think it’s still standing but in 1946 it was for sale, all 32 acres of it with the house standing by the side of the swift running mill stream and ajooining a series of waterfalls, at the end of the house is the old water wheel. This had it’s own water supply piped from a spring situated on high ground, another property on a Ladyday tenancy of £38 per annum. Today a weir and mill race running towards the mill can still be easily identified, but the actual location of mill is little more that a few foundations now.

Thanks go to Mrs Waton for sharing the catalogue with us.
