Breams Eaves (General)

Hi all

I've just got some info through about my lot on the electoral rolls in the 1930's.

Up until 1938 they're listed as being "Breams Eaves, Bream." In 1939 they're at 64, Council Villas, Parkend Road, Bream -which we knew though somehow we always thought they'd moved earlier than that.

We have pictures of the house in Parkend Road. But are there any old photos online of Breams Eaves and the old cottages there where they might have been living prior to 1939? I'm sure there are in a very obvious spot and this geographically-challenged Aussie just isn't finding them. Some of the Preests had cottages at Breams Eaves according to the 1909 Land Survey, so I wonder if they were living in one of those?

And, if I'm looking at things rightly, Breams Eaves and Parkend Road are pretty much side by side as the crow flies - so am I right in thinking that they could have carried a lot of their goods and chattels to the new house in 1939 without too much fuss?

Thanks muchly everyone.
