We’ve just been over to see my second dad and he showed us the old rent book for the house his father later bought, which he then inherited. (He is now in his late 80’s)
The rent book shows (in ink and beautiful cursive writing) that the annual sum of £3 and 10 shillings was paid in 1911. Apparently it was split into bi-annual payments.
The house, in the West Highlands was eventually bought by his father in 1925. It was such an interesting read.
Any other old documents kept by other GNetters?
Baby Reindeer - anyone watched it?
