Clifton Maybank local knowledge
« on: Sunday 23 November 14 15:04 GMT (UK) »
I have family there in the 1881 census - address Clifton farm number 1 cottage and would love to know if the cottage is still there. 
Other addresses on the census page are other farm cottages, Junction House and Old Mansion Clifton House.

I did visit a few years ago, with some difficulty as the place wasn't on the map!  By good chance came upon a road sign but didn't see any buildings at all.

I've read about the big house there and found a Brew House cottage so am wondering if there are still properties there I could see.

Grateful for any information thank you.
