The house I live in belonged to a Mrs Ball.
My husband bought it after she passed away.
Her name was Lily Ball and she died in 1988. Her husband was called Alfred.

Hi Clare

When you came were there some men working on the front of a house in Old Office Road?

Ha Ha how funny.... Thats my house..
Its got a sign on the gate saying "welcome to the funny farm"
When did you come.
I looked at our deeds after hearing from you the other day and found out our house was first sold by the coalbrookedale mining company in 1881. It used to belong to a decendent of Abraham Darby... Cool ah..

Hi
Isn't it interesting looking back at these things.
A few years ago a woman came up our drive (which is quite private and leads nowhere) and was looking at our house.
When I approached her it turned out her gran use to own our house.
The woman had moved away years ago and was in the area visiting rellies. She wanted to see if the house was still standing and when I invited her in to look round she couldn't believe how much it had changed but at the same time stayed the same..
It was nice to see the happiness on her face.

Which house did he live in, do you know...
Its really interesting. I wonder if it was our house.
Did he actually own the house or was it his parents.
Sorry to ask so many questions but I am intrigued.

Did you have relatives who once lived here?

Hi

Balls Hill is still there... I live there..
If you go up Old Office Road from the Heath Hill end, Balls Hill crosses Old Office Road about 100 yards from the bottom of Old Office Road.
