JennyMorgan Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 At one time the Authority had a well documented and publicised policy with regard to the 'sheds' at Potter. Had it not been fought then I doubt that they would be there now, or at least for much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it not been fought then I doubt that they would be there now, or at least for much longer.That’s exactly what I heard. Apparently, in the mid 80s a significant number of the bungalows / sheds / cottages were going to be flattened. It was a done deal. When it was agreed they could stay they became the Type B leases. There’s a book I’m trying to get a copy of but can’t find anywhere:A History of the River Thurne Bungalows https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BZUNFJC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IUd0AbATXB77GHowever, the lady who wrote it assures me she’s updating it and will be releasing a new version soon. We (the Tenants association) had a litter pick recently around Potter and it was fascinating to talk to some of the people who have been involved for years.

It is worth a read. If you put in a search reminder on eBay a copy will turn up. I paid £10 for mine. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQ Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 It Looks like the Broadshaven / Norada is now open, according the the other place and the outside has gone all black. Bet that will warm the place up in the sun. I feel a trip to La Thems coming up for SWMBO... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always good to have a bloke-creche available when serious shopping is in the air - I've often found the Troll Cart very useful when dragged to Regent Rd.
