Hillside

Report by researcher Rita Probert

A small dwelling called 'Hillside' but referred to locally as 'the tin house', once stood on the bank in Lower Road at the Litttle Lane end opposite Randall's Cottage. It was constructed much like 'Penryn'.

In the 1950s Hillside was occupied by two elderly sisters, Winifred and Hettie LLoyde, the latter always known as 'Aunt Ettie'. It was said that one of the sisters was formerly an actress. When Hillside was eventually demolished and the new house constructed further back from the lane, the old chimney breast was retained in the new front garden/drive area.
