Following two photos - Elsmere, Starr Road. It is almost certain that this is Annie and Emma Everill with their mother outside their home in Starr Road. If so the photo pre-dates 1899, for that is the year Mrs. Everill died. The cottage is no longer thatched but tiled, and a porch has been added to the front. The Everills also owned the piece of land in front of the cottage where Keyham House is now standing. In the background is Bury Cottage which now has an extension on its side. The lower picture shows Elsmere in the late 1920s. The roof is now tiled making the cottage look very different. Walter King and his family stand outside their home in Starr Road. From the right: Walter King, Walter's father Frederick, his wife Maud, their eldest son Bill, his aunt Betsy Chapling and Bob another son. In 1930 the King family moved to Hill Top, a bungalow next to Mill Road Halt. Both Hill Top and Mill Road Halt no longer exist.
