Larches

Heathfield Farm and Cottages

 


1909. Photo taken from Peak Lane , looking across The Avenue.

Broderick School

“a school for young gentlemen” late 1800s

Stranraer School

1901 Census: listed the head  Walter Bezant-Lowe, wife Florence, daughter Hilda, 2 assistant teachers, 11 pupils age 8 to 17, 4 servants

 


c. 1960.  There was a Broderick School, and then a Stranraer School.  It looks likely that they were in the same building. When the building was made into two dwellings they took these names?.

Hillview Nurseries

Dickie Downes bought The Limes sight  unseen for land for 60,000 sq ft of greenhouses for tomatoes.

When he saw how big the house was he turned it into Catisfield Country Club

Catisfield Lodge

 

Lots of land – including its own farm (and probably once a major cricket pitch….)

Deerstalker Cottages

 

There were four dwellings in this building
