Finding this thread reminded me that I must put my house sign back up. Been down for twenty something years but the TV tax demands still find me. After half a century the postie knows the occupant not the house name. All but Church Lane 1,2 &3 have names which means sometimes incomers like to change them because they can. The new owners of Heatherside have renamed it Chapel House but most know it as Elaine's after the last postmistress who ran the Post office in the old chapel next door (vacant when they built a bigger chapel). Not to be confused with the cottage called The Old Post Office' where Elaine's mother and grandmother were post mistresses before. Neither chapel is near Chapel Ford named after the other chapel whose outline can still just be seen in the field opposite. It is not uncommon for the older residents to call a place by its one time occupant who may have been dead 40 years so I don't know the names of all the houses so instead know 'Major Warne's, Moorlocks, and Mrs James' houses. |

I hope that you've kept the Cerne Giant sparkling white :lol: |
