Hi, My grandmother and step-grandfather lived in several of the cottages on the Thelwall Heyes Estate and my Gran acted as housekeeper to the two sisters who I knew as Miss Joan and Miss Molly. I was allowed to accompany my Gran whilst she worked at 'the big house' in the school holidays from when I was a little girl until one of the sisters died and the house was sold (1967-1980).  I have fond memories of them both and recall lots of features of the house and the way they lived. To a little girl it was very grand - a bit upstairs/downstairs as I was not to speak until spoken to and never to make a noise!The house was beautifully furnished with a faded grandeur about it, large grand piano in the front bay window which looked down the drive, wonderful red carpet on the huge staircase, lots of old grandfather clocks, big old kitchen with a warm aga and grans rocking chair next to it, really cold pantry and really really spooky attic rooms which I never went in alone! Miss Molly was of large build and very jolly whilst Miss Joan was thin and wiry with a sharp tongue but they were both lovely to me. My grandparents and one other lady from another cottage were the only domestic help they had and in the 70's this was ideal but as the sisters got older it became harder for all. My Step-grandfather was born in the local vicinity and had known the family all his life, I do have a suitcase of old photos somewhere of the summer fetes held in the garden as his Mother was a regular competitor and winner! My Gran used to visit the house in the Lakes but I can't quite recall the name but it will be in the paperwork somewhere - was it Cleebarrow? My memories are of warm summer evenings playing in the old school house in the garden, picking the vegetables for the 'old ladies' dinner and collecting the eggs for breakfast, happy memories indeed.
