'Jurston' memories, from the family...

"We have many happy memories of visiting as children, when Deer Leap was still a place of open fields and grazing sheep. In those days the tradesman's entrance with its wooden gate in the devon bank at the front was in daily use and coal deliveries and groceries from Creber's all made their way down the narrow side path to the kitchen.

The milkman was more fortunate; a slate-lined niche had been built into the wall for the milk bottles, and here grandchildren might also be lucky enough to find an Easter egg squirrelled away for them.'
