Allan says "the cottage was similar to many others.   As I remember it, as you entered the kitchen via the porch, the fireplace was to the left on an outside wall, the larder was at the rear down some steps, then to the right were two bedrooms - I can't recall three. Water was from a well, and also to the right of the cottage was a wooden shed for storing fuel and garden tools. The garden was about half an acre, the property being in Red Lion Road about 100 yards down from the pub and on the same side of the road. The cottage was demolished when purchased by my aunt and her husband, Winnie and Bert Goodall), this was in the mid fifties. A Mrs Smithers live next door. Like so many others, Joseph was an agricultural labourer. The family was large, 9 children surviving. My mother was Florence Sarah Tedder, born 1895, and was the eldest daughter."

Several of these cottages have survived in the Burrowhill area but only Frogshole Cottage in The Steep survives in original condition.
