My mother grew up in Gt Casterton, living there from about 1897 until about 1910. During this time my Grandfather, John Clark, rented a farm from the Burleigh Estate.
I travelled there last week end to see where she lived but couldn't locate the building. I have since found a photo of the farmhouse, a large building with a single bay window on the the main road. I have also found several post cards of Great Casterton, one posted on 16 Aug 1908.
I would be very interested to know which farm my mother lived on. If any one is interested in the photos, I will happily send scans.
With best wishes,
BM
