Sue, my
name is Geoffrey Stiddig and I live In Bicester, Oxfordshire.
In searching my
family history I find that my Great -aunt Emily Stiddig lived at
'The Yews'
46 Station Road
. I recall that I did visit with my father in the mid 1960's.
She moved to
Shrewsbury
where she passed away in 1966.I
believe that the cottage featured on many postcards of the
1950's & 60's but I have not yet found any. I am pleased to
have found the painting on your site which brings back memories.
Also more recent photos taken in 2002. Many
thanks for your excellent site.

back a lot of happy childhood holiday memories, visiting my
great Aunt Maggie, who was Miss Farnsworth in the school pic of
1952. She lived in the cottage by the shop at the bottom of the
hill - with an outside loo and a tin bath in front of the fire
to wash! I still have the clock she was presented with on her
retirement from the school in 1955 on my mantlepiece. |

about half way down the hill. She was in a Ladies group
or similar,and we went on a visit to Whipsnade Zoo and
she slipped and broke her leg and that was the beginning
of her demise. Very, very fond memories of the woods and
beautiful bluebells. |
