Olympic cottage
« on: Saturday 08 March 08 15:28 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

This is a long shot but worth a try, I'm trying to find Olympic or Olympia cottage. I believe it is fairly close to Brandon Suffolk which is on the Suffolk/Norfolk border. I'm sure that it would have been in existence in the early 1900's, It's also possible that it has a Post Office connection.

Any information or suggestions would be very welcome.

Adrian

                    Edit Just found out that it could have been a Villa and not a cottage

Its possible that it was a Post Office, the family that may have lived in the cottage (Malt was the name, sorry forgot to put it on the original post) ran the local Post Office in Weeting. All the information i have is from a friend who is researching her family's history, It's a bit sketchy but its all i have.

Incidentally the Post office in Weeting was ran by Mary Ann Arnold a relative of mine in the 1860's, hence my interest. I think the Post Office was then known as The Lodge Gate.
