Milborne Port
« on: Thursday 23 July 15 10:24 BST (UK) »
I have a family living Brook St Milborne Port in the 1840's.

I can see the street still exists but wonder if anyone can tell me if there are still old houses/cottages surviving from that time? 

Won't be able to narrow it down to the exact house they lived in am sure but would be nice to know dwellings from their time were still standing today.

Thanks  :)
