These two cottages stood on "Gables Corner" - the junction of Paper Mill Lane and Ship Lane. Believed to be part of a larger Wealden Hall house but demolished in the 1960's and the site redeveloped.

Learning tonight about our very own resident 16th century map maker, John Darby. In fact, we had two apparently - the other was John Holland. Who knew? (We didn't obviously 🙄)
