I am VERY interested in Stanley West's comments on The Park and Duff Villa. If he sees this, could he please contact me via this site. |

 The house in the foreground was known as The Park (now the Park Hotel). It was my mother's family home from 1926 to 1958; I spent all the holidays there from 1936-1950. I am uploading a photo taken in the esarly 1930s from the top of the war memorial - exactly from the opposite direction to your one taken in 1928. It is so sad to see it as is now is: the garden is almost entirely tarmac car park, there is a rather hideous house built near the former entrance, the house has a hideous extension (bar) and the whole area is covered with housing. |

THE "PARK" WAS BUILT BY, AND FOR, TWO BROTHERS WHO HAD A BUILDING BUSINESS. DUFF VILLA IN THE UPPER PART OF DUFF STREET IS EXACTLY THE SAME BUILD |
