Re North Broomhillmap of 1860 from 'Coquet'.
[QUOTE=Coquet;6500]The earlier 1860s map for North Broomhill:
I just had a smile when I re-visited Coquets post. I noted that the 'Thunder Boxes' for Six Cottages seem to have been sited at the south end of the gardens. in 1860.
I was born and raised in No 4, 1940 to 1954, and our 'facilities' were built to the north. However, what raised my smile? At the bottom of our garden was a huge rhubarb plant, and I mean huge. Did it have a head start on the rest of the garden?
I can only assume that the 'facilities' were moved when Stone Row was extended northward, the road taken out and another inserted along the bottom of Six Cottages gardens. Perhaps a later map could give an answer, and date the extension of Stone Row.
