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.
