I can see you running about the Tegga as an 8 year old.

The big field on the bottom left is where John Mercer fed the horses wih windfall apples when on his paper round.

Our old house is in that field backing on to Lithy Park - We moved there in 1968.

Did you manage to orient yourself with the aerial view of your area?

Darwen cottage had quite a bit of land at the back.
