Rose Cottage, Crabtree

[dunsbyowl1867]

You can only really see this old cottage - built in the late 17th Century - from Norwood Road when the leaves fall from the trees in autumn.

Edward Vickers tells the story there is a willow tree in the garden grown from a cutting taken from a tree that grows on Napoleon's tomb on St Helena.
