25 Montague Road

History of 25 Montague Road

1924

Geoffrey Wilson, aged 10, saw a woman lying in a hammock in his grandparents’ summer house. When he returned home his parents told him that he had described Stella Wilson, his father’s younger sister. It was only years later that Geoffrey discovered that his aunt had already died earlier that summer of tuberculosis. She had tried to treat the condition by going into the garden on warm days and lying in the hammock.

1962 vacant
