There was one on this portion of land for 90 dwellings ages ago, which got passed, but then the Nursing Home superseded it.

The swannie was a tract of land between Thwaites road and cocker brook, as you say there were old footings from a mill where tadpoles were in abundance in the season, there was a lodge, right behind where the nursing home is now, was very dangerous, they used to say there was quicksand in the area but don't know if that was right, spent a lot of time up yon when I was a kid
