The ford at Robinsbridge Road. Blowing Bubbles
From Doug Judd, (it's his photo) 'The little girl in the middle of the photo with the darker hat facing camera, is my grandmother Winifred Alice Cowlin (Win). She was born in 1899 at the Cradle House, she looks about 6 to 8 years old so I date this photo as between 1904 and 1908.
Her mother Emma Cowlin (nee Wallis), widowed after her husband died in a tragic accident in 1906, remarried Steven Willsher later the same year and they lived in one of the pair of cottages on the corner of Robinsbridge Road and Mill Lane. Win was living there when this photo was taken just down the road on the little bridge over the ford at Robin's Brook. Eventually she had 4 step siblings, Margery, Phyllis, John and Stan. Win married my grandad, Bertie, and they had the house built on land now occupied by Homeweave House.'
