My father worked in Camberwell,so mother returned there as soon as she was able, despite the terrible bombing, and remained there throughout the war. I wonder when the first evacuees arrived at Berryfield? Posted 23/10/2011 Kathleen Ann Gatter nee Butlin said: I was born here on the 20th May 1941.

I was unable to see any of the conversion work inside the house and caught just a glimpse of the other properties as the site is sealed off. It was good to see where I was born though and the town is really quaint. It was worth the visit.

I'm the site manager of the four conversions and must say we really have done a fantastic job in the conversion. Anyone connected to this house will see how respectful we have been, and am sure will notice the high standard of craftsmanship gone into this enjoyable project.

I hope to visit Bradford-on-Avon in June this year and would love to see the house. The last time I was there, which was in the late 1960s, I did not find the house so I am quite looking forward to my next trip.
