that,s why i never got it, i for some strange reason never class that area as thornton, it is of course it,s just that i never see it that way.
ReplyDeleteMelanie i am pleased that go buzz is working for you, i know it must have been a lot of work to set up.
illawalla! huh and i spent most of my youth in that place as well, never sober enough to notice the gate post i suppose lol.
Hi Mike
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit out but still Thornton.
I spent a lot of time in the Illawalla or 'the walla' as we knew it. The only place you could go out on your own and know you would know someone when you got there. sadly missed.
Born and brought up 100yds away,(Hornbys Corner)
ReplyDeletemust have gone down Illawalla coach house lane thousand of times'The railing put me off, used to be a 10ft hedge (why do they keep changing things)
Re old buildings. how about the old pig sty on the left just past Illawalla's back gates?
used to shelter in there from the rain (A Barn Owl and Me), whilst waiting for the tide to go out so i could go home
James Bamford, per chance?
DeleteCongrats on Go Buzz, Melanie :)
ReplyDeleteLove your photos of your area, they're great snapshots that capture the character which touristy postcards miss.
Just found the answer to my "What was the Illawalla?" question HERE LOL.
