Foulsyke

Foulsyke

First Foulsyke as we always knew it, this must be a very early photo as there is no pavement and no tarmaced road.  All are out to have their photo taken.  The people that lived there in the 40’s were in the first house – Readman’s, the next one was Swalwell’s and the third one, correct me if I am wrong was either a Miss or Mrs Shaw.  Swalwell still have the farm, there was always a spring running in the farm yard, where we that lived at East Loftus used to go and get water from when the taps went off.  Which in the 40’s and early 50’s was very often.

Arthur Fields, Loftus

Arthur Fields Loftus

Arthur Fields Loftus

Four or five cottages made up this row of fine freestone buildings with red clay pantile roofs.  They were set in the fields, going through Loftus to Foulsyke.  Just past the houses there is a small gate that leads via a public footpath to the cliff road.  Over one field and then Arthur Fields came into view.  If my memory serves me rightly there was a windmill in the field near these cottages, long since demolished (both the windmill and the cottages). 

Please tell me if I am wrong or if you remember more about these cottages.
