Amos JAMES 1872 Blakeney Hill (General)
Hi Segilla,
Yes, I remember visiting Blakeney Hill many times, first as a youngster with my parents, my Dad was Amos's younger brother Albert. Then as a teenager I cycled down to Blakeney and stayed with Uncle Amos JAMES and Auntie Gertie for a few days. His garden always looked gorgeous, and he used to grow his own bedding plants from seed. It certainly was quite a steep slope down to the bottom. Just after our last visit in the early 1970's there was a terrific storm, and it washed all of his lovely plants and a lot of the soil straight down to the bottom of the hill. I liked going down there, as he was my favourite Uncle, and I have now got a lot of wonderful memories of both my Uncle Amos and Auntie Gertie and Blakeney Hill.
Fred.
