Deeds and documents relating to Ivydale & a 21 year lease document donated by Ray Bushnell (this and other photographs available in WVA).

There are two photos of Jim Shorter in the original garden of 47 High Street (known as the 'chicken run'), also shown in green on one of the maps, with Pound Cottage in the background. The wire fence was the demarcation of the garden to the east as shown on one of the maps. The plot to the right was owned by someone else and was bounded on the east by a stone wall to Holloway Road. The current garden is shown hatched on the second map. It is accessed by the two-ended arrow from the forecourt of Wheatley Tyre Centre. Shown as 1 and 2 are the two houses which Ray Bushnell's family say were once here. There were two occupiers of dwellings in Holloway Road shown in the 1911 census (pages 120 and 122 on Ancestry), but these houses are not shown on any map including the 1910 Valuation Survey map.

For photos, see records 1250, 1260, 1264
