Toll-House Photo

1871 census gave me a 'late toll-house'' address. With gratitude to the Tollhouse Organisation and a Parish Council secretary - I now have the photo and old map of an ancestral home from 140 years ago. (photo taken 1964 prior to demolition).
You may think I'm crazy - but looking at that photo I can almost 'see' my ggg-grandfather, wife and kids using that front-door. Thrilling, and I'm so grateful to those who helped.
