Post by caroletChristine and George lived in 'The Old Police House' until it was
firebombed. I think it was repaired, but Christine didn't want to go
back. Wouldn't it be great if whoever lives there now decided to move
out, and Harrison and Fallon bought it?
As Fallon and Harrison rent their house from Christine, is that then
the Old Police House?
It was next to the shop (according to TAE) and was burnt down (according to
Carolet) .
I said that it was fire bombed. It was certainly substantially damaged,
but I'm not sure that "burnt down" is the correct description
Post by PennyBert and Freda Fry used to live in Woodbine Cottage (tied to
Brookfield), next to The Bull but when it was damaged by a lorry they moved
to the bungalow at the farm. The BBC website says George and Christine
lived there - how did they get around the agricultural tie?
Did it still belong to Brookfield and come to Christine when Phil died?
Christine and George were clearly unable to live in a fire damaged
buiding, but the Brookfield Archers weren't going to let Aunty Chris be
homeless, when they had a cottage that was, or could be made, available.
I seem to recall that Bert and Freda had previously moved into The
Bungalow temporarily while Woodbine Cottage was refurbished. (I don't
remember why this was necessary.) The Frys rather liked it in The
Bungalow and were sorry to leave. Some time later a reason was found to
move them back in, I suspect that this was so that Chris and George
could move in, but maybe that was earlier and Woodbine was already
conveniently empty.
Anyway, the Barfords rented/borrowed Woodbine until the Police house was
refurbished. I think George died before it was finished, but Chris was
not happy to move back into the repaired house, I'm not sure whether she
actually did go back for a while, but before long she sold The Old
Police House and bought Woodbine Cottage from Brookfield.
