Thanks for the advice – gratefully received. We haven’t set up a website yet, but when we do I think it would be a good to show the banner  No luck with the old photos search yet - still keeping our fingers crossed

There is light at the end of the tunnel – we have been contacted by someone who visited and stay at Midge Hall regularly from 1949 to 1963 when it was the game keeper’s cottage, his memories of the place is captivating. It also transpires just before the property became derelict it was used as a museum; my in-laws have spoken to the curator, who again has imparted special memories. Midge Hall Falling Foss is truly a remarkable place and we would love to hear from anyone who has special memories and especially photographs.Building work is progressing nicely and we hope to be in for early July.

I am now the proud owner of Midge Hall and feel very privileged to be the custodian of this magical place. My wife and I hope to recreate the Tea Garden and would very much like to see any pictures when it was owned by Mr and Mrs Robinson and to hear from anyone who has memories of visiting the tea rooms 
Well what a lovely idea, Sarah and I wish you and Steph all the luck in the world, and look forward to visiting you guys for a cuppa and a catch-up.

Hi John, WELCOME before any other crazy POE member can get to you! (They all fight to beat me to it, but this time they have failed miserably). This is a great site John, plenty going on in the forum so join in when you can....mind you you it won't take you long to realise that they are nuts! Some are even ugly, take that Peter for example, but don't tell him I said so!!

Well as usual I am behind the eight ball in welcoming a new member. Never-the-less, WELCOME Jack!

I am very excited about your venture. How exciting to be bringing an old treasure "back to life".  Sue is right, the place looks idyllic.  I hope that the next time I visit England your tea room will be open for visitors!

By the way, any man who refers to his wife as "my lovely wife" has scored tons of brownie points with every woman who hears it! Ron Brind could take a page or two from your book about how to treat HIS lovely wife. LOL!
