Hello, I am researching my family tree and am looking for information concerning cottages that were burnt down due to sparks from train. I have your encyclopedia which mentions the incident. I am looking for a date and any newspaper article concerning this incident. I believe the cottage was occupied by a Mr Summerfield. I hope that you will be able to help, or know where l can obtain the relevant information. Many Thanks Sally.
Hello,
I lived in Weston from 1952 to 1977. I am not sure what encyclopedia you are referring to but a few cottages were burnt down opposite the old school on Main Street that I recall seeing blaze. Are these the cottages to which you refer?
