| 1 |  | 'Castleton', Castle Road, Torquay, Devonshire, England This house was the home of William Distin Webber and his family for a number of years. They were certainly living there (at least) between 1881 and 1901. The house still stands today and is now the home of the Torbay Citizen's Advice Bureau. | ||
| 2 |  | 'Pontefract': Home of Lebbeus Hordern, Melbourne. (c.1891) 'Pontefract', on the corner of Hardwicke Street and Whitehorse Road, was designed for Lebbeus Hordern by the architect, Mr H. J. Prockter. The 11 roomed house was designed with Marseilles pattern roofing tiles, large verandahs, and gables with Tudor detailing which were associated with the Queen Anne style of British housing. 'Pontefract' was built c.1891 on the western side of an allotment of land which comprised nine suburban plots. Sited on the brow of a hill it had superb views west across the Deepdene dip to Burke Road, north to the Great Dividing Range and east to the Dandenongs. Together with the Reid house Belmont, which was diagonally opposite on Whitehorse Road, Pontefract would have been a significant landmark for anyone travelling from Kew to Balwyn and beyond. Between the house and Percy Street were paddocks where the Hordern's horses and cow grazed. The coach house and stables, with driver's quarters above, were located north of the house. Louisa Hamilton, granddaughter of Lebbeus and Louisa Hordern, remembers her visits to Pontefract which she recalls as being light and airy - not at all like those Victorian houses with their dark and heavy furniture. Lebbeus and Louisa purchased much of the house furnishings when on an extended overseas trip in 1887. Louisa also remembers the large conservatory on the northern side of the house, her grandfather's photographic dark room beneath the dining room, and playing hide-and-seek in the extensive cellars under the house. | ||
| 3 |  | 'Stramshall', 173 Auburn Road, Hawthorn, VIC This is the home that was built for William Hordern and Cecilia Monger by her father, William Monger. The Horderns lived there until 1917. On the left is the house shortly after it was built and on the right, the house as it appeared when it was auctioned around 1964. The auctioneers listing says this about the house: "Constructed for William Hordern esq. at the beginning of the land boom of the 1880's, "Stramshall" is a spendid example of the Italianate form of architecture so popular in the late-victorian era. During the decade, many of Melbourne's most imposing residences were built, generally occupying the choice hilltop locations in the burgeoning suburbs of the fledgling metropolis. Remaining in the original owner's family until 1917, "Stramshall" was subsequently converted to flats and remained as such until 1965 when it was purchased by the present owners. Carefully restored to highlight its abundant architectural and decorative features and subtly upgraded to incorporate modern facilities, it has provided comfortable and charming accommodation for a large family for almost thirty years. Of triple brick construction, set on massive bluestone foundations and roofed in Welsh slate, Stramshall is a stately and substantial residence of some 490 sq metres or approximately 53 squares, having twelve principal rooms of mansion proportions. On the ground floor a spectacular tessellated entrance foyer and stair hall open to three grand reception rooms and the current owners' master bedroom, which could be utilised as a fourth living area if desired. There is a well equipped Brazillian black bean kitchen, a cosy study with access to the walk-down wine cellar and a luxuriously appointed bathroom. The first floor comprises four enormous bedrooms, two complete bathrooms and a further two double bedrooms and kitchenette, the latter being readily adaptable to a self-contained granny flat if required. A wide return verandah on the ground floor and corresponding balcony on the first floor are both trimmed in elaborate cast iron filigree. No fewer than eight marble fireplaces including two exquisite rouge marble examples grace the main rooms and original plaster work and detailed joinery are retained in beautifully preserved condition." | ||

| 7 |  | Allied Military Currency - WW2 Allied Military Currency was issued for use in France, Germany, Italy and Japan and for a short time in Korea, Denmark and Austria. The currency was issued to combat the effects of black market activity and the associated need to stabilise the local economy. They were issued to military personnel generally for use on base only. When, for example, the Germans left Greece, they first flooded the country with counterfeit currency to de-stabilise the economy. AMC was issued to the allies until the local currency stabilised.

| 32 |  | Bighton Village Shop and Post Office c.1915 This shop was home (and work) to John and Harriet Butcher for a number of years. John was a Baker and he and his wife ran a bakery from the shop and post office store until their death in 1860. During those years, they were ably assisted by their newphew, Isaac Norgate. Isaac followed in the footsteps of his uncle and was probably trained by him. After the death of John and Harriet, Isaac - who never married - took over the shop and served the village for the rest of his life - a total of 60 years! | ||

| 42 |  | Brimscombe Port, Near Stroud, Gloucestershire, England Just to the right of centre in this picture is Port Mill with the water tower dominating the roof-line of the mill which was re-built in 1811. At one time Brimscombe Port (opened in 1789) was a focal point as the Headquarters for the Thames and Severn Canal. Sea-going Severn trows came all the way up to Brimscombe from the River Severn. They could not navigate further onto the Stroudwater canal because they were too large. So, at the Port, goods were transferred to narrower boats to transport cargo through the Sapperton Tunnel to the River Thames and beyond. Goods and freight were of all sorts, including cloth and wool but predominately, the port was used to store coal. In fact, an island in the port was used for this purpose because it provided ideal security against theft of this valuable commodity by local people! The canal and port finally closed in 1933. | ||

| 57 |  | Chavenage House, Nr Tetbury, Gloucestershire. This photograph, taken in 1960, is of Chavenage House, just outside Tetbury. It is where Ada Annie Cleaver worked as a Domestic Servant at the time of the 1911 census. Ada was 15 years old at the time. | ||
| 58 |  | CHEF, Salem c.1895-c.1966 The larger photograph to the left is of Salem Chef, date unknown. Top right in colour, is Salem's first wife Elizabeth Maud Law. Elizabeth died in the first quarter of 1925 when she was only 24. Her son Salem (jnr) was born in February 1925, so perhaps these events were connected. The photograph at bottom right, is of Salem and his second wife, Lily Williams (nee Jones). I have been advised by another family member that this photo was probably taken in the 1960's. | ||

| 87 |  | CLEAVER, Robert Job (AKA, Job) 1884-1930 The picture indicates that Robert (often going by his middle name, "Job") was a Sergeant in the RFA. it is unclear whether this refers to the "Royal Fleet Auxillary" or the "Royal Field Artillery" as both were referred to as the "RFA". However, there is a WW1 medal index card for a "Job Cleaver", RFA. If this is our Robert, it suggests that Robert signed up in 1914 and was discharged in 1917 as "medically unfit for service". | ||

As can be seen, James was a sailor and at the time this photograph was taken, he was serving aboard HMS Challenger | ||

William became a successful and prolific builder. | ||
| 99 |  | COX's army prepare for the long journey to the front lines of Europe. This photograph was taken around 1915, probably not long after Edwin Cox had signed up for military service. It shows the troops on board the train which is to take them east to Thunder Bay for the voyage to Europe. Clearly in high spirits, little did they know that many of them would never return. The various slogans depict such messages as "Kaiser Bill We Are Coming"; "Kenora Roughnecks"; "Kenora Die Hards" and of course, "Cox's Army". If anyone recognises a face, please let me know. | ||
