Instow and its part in the life of John Sweet

Mother's Family

Kate Martin my Mum came from a family of 12 children who were born and brought up in this house in Westleigh a small village near Bideford in North Devon England.

The house where mum was borne as it was in 1904. Note the small shop in bottom left hand corner run by Granny Martin.

The same house as in 1980. Note the shop has gone and the thatch roof has been slated.
