| This was my home from the age of 1 until I was just over 8. The sale notice recorded with Hornsby Shire Council, indicates that my father sold it to a poultry farmer from Galston for £3,360 having paid less than £1,000 for it 7 years earlier. I say 'less than' because my notes indicate that Mum reckons they paid £300, whereas Dad reckons they paid £1,000. That was there level of agreement on most things, I hasten to add. This house stood upon land 50' wide and 165' deep (about 766 m2) with vehicular access via a rear laneway. The lane also provided a quick and safe getaway up to Grandma's shop. And look at the block of land now. Bloody Westfield. |
