I lived here as a child.  My father ran his coal business here. P. C Kidd coal merchants. He sadly died in 1986 so we sold it and moved out around 1991/2. I think they moved in around the 1960s. It was then brought by a developer and they knocked it down, leaving the front of the house the same, as it is a listed building.  They built a property on the coal yard.  Many memories in this house. Also the feeling that we weren’t alone there. Heating never worked in one of the bedrooms and some very strange feelings upstairs.
