Success this time! Front and back of 46 Cutts Street Margate some time in the mid 50s. That's my grandmother Ivy Beahan standing in the doorway of the laundry area.
Hi, Duane. Thanks for this. My grandparents lived at 46 Cutts Street and maintained a small farm plot on the block next to it (probably what is now 48 Cutts Street). They would have been living there at the time the image was captured. I tried to add images but wasn't successful. Not sure why. Cheers. Catherine.
