That’s my next-door neighbour’s house, Ann and John. They had a lot of problems with leaky roofs when they first moved in but its all nice and dry now $good$

I thought it was the West Shore Tollhouse that's for sale (it's got nice clean stonework, regularly sand blasted!)

Between the 2 pictures, the landscape on the left has changed an awful lot over the years...  the older one still looks more like West Shore toll house looks today....   but I'm tired and stupid.
