"Uncle Des" was my Great-Grandmother's (Hilda Mae Harris nee Freeman) uncle. Until today I never knew my Great-Grandmother's real last name. She was born in the house in Wickesham, in the room with the bay window. I have a copy of this picture with her note on the back. She identified the house as being in Stratford-upon-Avon, but I always knew that they had lied about their name and obscured their background.
I knew my great grandmother, who died when I was 15. She lived with us.
I was flabbergasted to see a picture of this house on this page. The same picture is framed on my wall at home here in Maine, USA.
