 Attractive detached cottage the catalogue tells us, with 2 bedrooms, sitting room, kitchen with sink and range, a garden that extended to about 18 poles this could have been yours for £13 per annum rent.  Garden Cottage which still stands in Easington, opposite the Post Office. Let for £25 per annum, it had electric lighting; although the water was obtained from a roadside tap.

Five lots in all including a village store with a rent £14-18s-8d per year. Three cottages bringing in £48-16s per year and the village post office rent £18-4s per year. A grand total of just over £81-00, not bad for 1946. Pauline Dolling tells us: ”I had a distant relative (my grandmother’s brother) who I think lived in this terrace at this time. He was Frank Wood who was a local gamekeeper in the Grinkle area. He would regularly visit my grandmother; who would often have a rabbit or pheasant hanging behind her pantry door at 1 West Road Loftus. Frank was a single man, I wonder if anyone remembers him and has any other information about him; i.e. Was his name listed as paying rental on one of the cottages listed in Lambert Terrace? I would love to hear more of him.” Image from the dispersal sale catalogue for Grinkle Park, courtesy of Mrs Waton.  These fairies are in the grounds of the Carlin How Club hall I think and one of the fairies is ? Tremain. Were you there or can you name any of the fairies and what was the occassion? Sheila Cotterill advises: “My maiden name is Hibbert (nee Glasper) my grandmother was Mary Ann Pearson of Cariin How. I have a photograph of one of the fairies but no name; it is the fairy in the middle of your fairy group photograph. I would like contact with any Pearson family member; doing my family research.” Image courtesy of George Tremain, thanks to Sheila Cotterill for the comment.  Easington Hall Farm 207 acres, it stated in the catalogue that this was a ”Lady Day tenancy’ of £217 per annum. Lady Day being the 25th March. Bob Doe tells us: ”Lady Day is the Christian festival (25th March) of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary”.

Home Farm House or Grinkle Lodge again for sale in 1946 bringing the princely sum of £2,700 Image courtesy of Mrs Lilian Waton; from the dispersal sale catalogue.  Snipe House, described in the catalogue loaned to us by Mrs Waton, as being built of ’mellowed stone’ with slate roof. Accomodation: 3 bedrooms and bathroom, sitting room, living room with range having a boiler at the back for heating the hot water. Gun room and pantry with sink, E.C. if you don’t know what an E.C. is then ask an older member of the family. Alan Found Tells us: ”Snipe House is still used by Grinkle Estates as a gamekeeper’s house”. Image courtesy of Mrs Lilian Waton, thanks to Alan Found for that update.  Once again taken from the sale catalogue; the lake was included with the sale of Grinkle Park. Image courtesy of Mrs Lilian Waton.  A rather nice view of the hotel as you go up the driveway. Image from the sale catalogue courtesy of Mrs Lilian Waton.  Too late to buy I’m afraid as this sale being the dispersal of the Grinkle Park Estate was in 1946. I wonder how much was paid for it?
