Follow the Sign
The sign points directly to Mrs Smith's Cottage, so it isn't hard to find!
Mrs Smith was born Hilda Craven in 1892 and after some years, she bought this cottage for £50 which she allowed her adoptive mother and step brother to live in until they both passed away. Hilda then married Joseph Smith when she was 64 and lived in the cottage until she was 102 before she was confined to a home. She still climbed the steep ladders to her bedroom despite her age.
The cottage is now a museum, retaining many of the original features, as Hilda was not one for change. She did have a black and white television, which must have been difficult as one of her favourite programmes was snooker!

Mrs. Smith's Cottage 3 East Road
Mrs. Smith lived there happily and independently until 1995, when she was 102 years old. The building and the contents were preserved by local residents as something very special. Displaying the simple life of a lady who had little time for modern innovations it is typical of early to mid 20th century rural life with an old black range, a single cold water tap, period furniture, a washhouse and ladders to the bedrooms; all preserved as Mrs Smith used them until she died.
