Hi Phil,
Thanks so much for that map showing Maplehurst. Indeed, it is next door to Scone Cottage! Or was. Seems to have gone since I couldn't see it on google-earth. Walter Coleman lived in Scone Cottage for some years, including 1871 and 81, and seems to have built Maplehurst after 1888, when an old map of the area doesn't show Maplehurst and 1891 when he was living there. Maybe it was a Nurseryman's cottage some time before 1871?
Ken, do you have a date when it might have gone? You said after 30 years. Thanks for the postcard photo.
