My parents lived at no 16 a long time ago...unfortunately they are no longer alive, but at the time the next door neighbour (possibly 18) was a Joan...will see if I can find out more (may take time though!)

 If you go and look at "Cambridgeshire History On The Net"
there is a picture called haverhill road linton...looks very much like the grip I remember as a child, if it is then 18 would be on the right after the first white cottage.

Hi
my father was brought up in Grip Cottage in the 1940's. We went back a few months ago and some of the cottages are still there.
Email me and i have both current photos and 1900 postcards which i will forward

I still cant quite work this one out. I visited Linton the other day but cannot find /be sure where 18 grip cottage is. I found a rd called the Grip where Linton Zoo is. I am now familiar with Linton High st. I'm not certain where Haverhill rd is that Pigpen mentioned ( & picture of it shown on Cambs history website)

Any help appreciated

cheers

When Linton was bypassed, the Haverhill Road became a cul-de-sac of sorts and this is now referred to as The Grip - the maps available on multimap do not clearly show this.

If you still don't have an up to date photo of the house I can take one for you
