144 High Street, Mablethorpe.
Fareastdriver and Reader123,
This is absolutely fascinating ! Thank you both ! Our first home !
It is 58 years ago, and a lot has changed. I cannot remember a "Kingsley Road" round the corner, and I think that in our time the house formed part of a much longer terrace running down the High Street (the gable end does looked "chopped off", as if it might once have been a party wall).
Houses seem to have been demolished in this terrace to enable "Kingsley" and other roads off (which I can't remember) to be built. Of course there was no supermarket opposite then (or anywhere else !)
It is certainly the same house, but it has been considerably extended at the back, and it's a palace now inside in comparison with what we had. The fireplaces may be original, but possibly modern replicas. All flooring is new.
I was dumbfounded when I saw the "new" ATC Tower. What a palace - that's been extended, too. The "balconies" were a typical WW2 feature
Believe you me, we didn't get that sort of luxury in '55 !
It's amazing what you can get for £115k even today, if you look in the right place.
Cheers,
Danny.
