Childhood House
Would you want to revisit your childhood home, if it was even still standing, that is?I used to when I didn't mind the gas driving that far but decided to quit years ago. It began becoming too bittersweet when I'd remember great times, knowing nothing can ever be the same.
My husband never wanted to see his old house & wanted to just keep it in his memory.
When I'd go for long drives to Midland Ontario, with my parents decades ago, my dad would always want to show us where he lived.

Re: Childhood House
Pass the ones I grew up in everyday, one is now a council hall for hire, one is lived in by a family of bikers and the other was sold by the landlord just a couple of years ago and has undergone quite a transformation inside, looking at all the rubble they dragged out !

Re: Childhood House
The one with the white door is my childhood home. My mother bought it as a sitting tenant somewhere around 1945 for 200 pounds. When she died it was sold for 46,000 pounds (approx. 30 years ago), now look at the price of it ! It was turned into a holiday cottage.http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-...-26006439.html

Re: Childhood House
They have made my mumīs house look quite large, it isnīt. The third bedroom was the attic. The door in the kitchen opens into a shared yard. The bathroom was a larder, two steps down from the kitchen, my mother had it converted to a bathroom. Obviously the house has been modernised but the front door opens onto the pavement. The house is right on the old packhorse bridge which leads to a lane to walk into Chatsworth Park, but I am still "gobsmacked" at the price !
