Victor Daniel and Ethel May Baker moved from Hayes Farm Morley where they had lived the first part of their married life to this little cottage in Kings Newton nr. Melbourne, Derbyshire. They moved as Victor Daniel began working as a labourer for Morley's farmers in Trent Lane. The cottage was very small - the back part of the photo (front part was a store or another cottage ?) boys slept in one room and girls in another and parents downstairs.Dad and Gerald both remember calling at the pork butchers in High Street (part of the thatched cottage) to collect hot faggots in gravy, during their lunchbreak from school, then running all the way back to Kings Newton with them.
