Well as i said a lot of mine came from an historic part of Lincoln,and one that is widely photographed by many many people. It's not the same downloading a picture though,better to 'breathe it in' so to speak.Most of the residents were self employed,the rest of the Lincoln rellies were just half a mile away in the terraced houses to the West.All railway workers and labourers,more people to a house and lots of lodgers. Definately a city with history. Glen

I have very vague childhood recollections of two lots of tumbledown cottages where 2 different sets of gt-grandparents lived. They were demolished about forty years ago, but a friend had old postcards of the village c1900, so now I have a photographic record as well as memory. Like Heather, I have the village church, which has changed little since my ancestors first came here in the 1830's. I have been lucky enough to get old pictures of some of the Great Yarmouth Rows, where another family lived in the early 1800's and I have super photos & drawings of the exteriors & interiors of Norfolk churches, where they were bp, married or buried.

Hi I was over in Northern Ireland in April and managed to visit the house my gt gt grandmother came from,it is a beautiful georgion house called Dunderg house (Macosquin nr Colraine). The gentleman who know owns it came out to talk to us and even offered to take our photo's outside,which was great.

I'm so lucky in a way. Found most of my lines living in the yards and streets off where my mum lives and I work now. Very boring as in they never moved about. but it's nice to see where they lived. And also the majority are listed buildings.
