Does anyone recall an old white cottage over the wall at the top of Andover Street. It was next to Pye Bank school. It stood in the "old gardens" and an old lady lived there. I was at Pye Bank school 1953 to 1958

Apologies, I thought you meant the old fish and chips shop.

Can the location of the cottage be seen on this section of 1950's map?

I can only open comments via my email. And your apology is accepted since I clearly did not state the white house fish and chip shop

I don't recall a "old white cottage" on the "old gardens", I lived in the area for 30 years and attended Pye Bank School from 1941-1947, the only white cottage I knew in the area, was the chip shop near the bottom of Andover Street
