THIS BLOCK IS GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME! WHILST CHECKING WITH THE LOCAL COUNCIL WE GOT TO TALKING TO THE YOUNG BLOKE THERE, HE GREW UP THERE, AND SAID HE THOUGHT HE REMEMBERED A PUB BEING ON THAT CORNER A LONG TIME BACK. HAVE NOW SPOKEN TO A LADY WHO HAS WRITTEN A BOOK ON THE VILLAGE/TOWN AND SHE HAS CONFIRMED! ORIGINALLY IT WAS KNOWN AS THE RAILWAY HOTEL, BUT, AFTER EXTENSIONS IT WAS RENAMED THE ROYAL, WHICH WAS LATER DISMANTLED. I KNEW THERE WAS AN ALMOST MAGNETIC ATTRACTION TO THE BLOCK AS SOON AS I SAW IT. EVEN BETTER, SHE IS GOING TO TALK TO US NEXT WEEK AND WILL SHARE OLD PHOTOS OF THE PUB. WHILST WANDERING AROUND TAKING PHOTOS AND SORT OF PACING OUT THE BLOCK, THE OWNERS CAME DOWN, YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT,THEY GREW UP IN CONDELL PARK. ANYWAY HERE ARE SOME PICCIES WE TOOK THE OTHER DAY.

THE PHOTO ABOVE IS TAKEN FROM THE PADDOCK WITH THE ENSUITE AND SHED ON IT, LOOKING BACK TOWARDS QUEEN ST. THE HOUSE WILL GO TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE AS YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTO AND THE INTERNAL FENCE IN FOREGROUND WILL COME DOWN. THE GREEN STUFF IS LUCERNE, CURRENT OWNER RUNS GOATS AND OWNER BEFORE HAD SHEEP.
THE TV TOWER, INTEND TO KEEP THAT, FENCE DOWN LEFT SIDE IS FRONTING ONTO WATSON ST. NEW GARAGE, WHEN IT ARRIVES WILL GO UP THE SIDE FENCE TO BLOCK THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR.
VIEW FROM FRONT GATE LOOKING TOWARDS QUEEN ST. THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE OLD PUB ARE NEXT TO THE GATE YOU CAN SEE IN BACKGROUND. THESE INTERNAL GATES AND FENCES WILL ALSO COME DOWN, THEY WERE PUT UP TO STOP SHEEP RING BARKING THE TREES. THE PINE TREES, ONCE DEFENCED, WE WILL CLEAN UP AROUND BASES AND KEEP.
LOOKING FROM FRONT GATE TOWARDS CATH'S ENSUITE AND SHED, TREES BEHIND THE SHED AND TO THE RIGHT OF PHOTO, WE PLAN TO KEEP. THE TV AERIAL IS JUST OUT OF PICTURE TO THE LEFT. AND YEP, THAT IS AN OLD PORCELAN THRONE, USED TO BE HOUSE UP THAT FENCE THAT WAS BUILT IN 1930s AND DEMOLISHED RECENTLY, MAYBE YOU CAN SET UP BETWEEN THE BATH AND THE LOO, CATH?
THIS IS TAKEN FROM QUEEN STREET LOOKING BACK DOWN WATSON, THE HOUSE JUST BEYOND THE UTE IS THE ONE THE NEW GARAGE WILL BLOCK.
THIS IS FROM INTERSECTION, WITH QUEEN ST RUNNING UP TO THE RIGHT. THE OLD FOUNDATIONS/WALLS OF PUB ARE JUST BEHIND THE GROUP OF TREES IN THE CORNER, THESE TREES WE WILL CLEAN UP AROUND AND KEEP ALSO.
VIEW FROM QUEEN STREET, THE SHED IS IN AMONG THE TREES IN BACKGROUND
LOOKING DOWN THE LANE AT REAR OF BLOCK, THE HOUSE WILL GO ALONG INSIDE OF THIS FENCE LINE, DOWN TOWARDS THE TREES, YOU CAN SEE ROOF OF SHED, IF YOU LOOK HARD.
