Hillside

Report by researcher Rita Probert

-

Hillside (also known locally as 'The Tin House'.

Hillside

It is not known when built, but during demolition a piece of wood was found between the walls with a date in the 1890's: a property on the site also appears on an O.S. map of 1898. Another discovery was a very old rubbish tip in the back garden where many Victorian glass bottles and other artifacts were found. The house also contained a very deep cellar, accessed from a trapdoor in the kitchen. There is believed to have once been a much earlier property, dating back to the 18th century, towards the top of the garden.

Randells Cottage

Randells CottageLower 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.
