I bet it didn't look like that when they lived there! If I were Davy I'd be tempted to go and have a look round.  ;)

I gonna pop over that way this week as well as visiting Martha and James Burial spot at Ryton. I might have a quick knock on the door with 1911 census in hand. See if they let me in  :D

Either that or phone the estate agent and pretend to be a prospective buyer.  ;D

Why not give it a go? After all, it looks like Martha was there for some time. They might be interested in the history of their house.
