Buckminster Old House, Billingborough
This was just called "Buckminster House" in 1955 when I lived there, in the then children's home. Where the red bushes are on the right was our playground, a sandy area where I practised the high jump, among other things. At a guess, there were about 30 children, and a staff of perhaps 10.

Buckminster House
This was a children's home in 1955 when my sister and I were placed there after my mother contracted tuberculosis. The foreground was at that time a lawn. We children had to pick out all the stones before the lawn was seeded, and I found a George III cartwheel penny dating from 1797.

Converted to a house
Two wings of the former Manor outbuildings, converted more than once I feel.
The modern windows are arranged in a panel of infill suggesting a once-larger opening of some sort.
