Hi Dicky    I have enquired from a friend about Birks Row.............yes apparently there was such a row. If you would like me to ask anything further I can do so as this gentleman has lived in Burstwick all his life and knew of its existence    Shella

    Hi Dicky, I will tell this gentleman your grandads name and the years he lived there. The name of Medforth will still be remembered I am sure. I dont live in Burstwick but my friends live there and have  weekly contact with this gentleman. I will ask about the Medforths. I am sure you will be aware that the village suffered severe flooding, but all seems all back to near normal.   Shella

Hi Shella
Any reply on Burstwick yet

[shella]

     Hi Dicky, I have been to Burstwick today but I am unable to give you the information you would like.As I said before there is a resident who remembers Birks  Row, which of course has now gone and is a "ten foot" leading to the Medforths yard which is now built on. Wilf is the only remaining member of the brothers you played with.         Shella.
