Belmangate, Gysburne Cottage
Dr Henderson’s house in Belmangate, at one time owned by Tom Wolstencroft’s great aunt, Mrs Edith Dickinson, who also owned the Orange Café (now 1983 – Hill’s Bakery). TW says they converted the Belmangate house from three little buildings. Quote: “I remember the excitement when an old iron kitchen range was pulled away to disclose an old inglenook fireplace, and being covered in plaster when chipping away at the ceiling disclosed old oak beams. In one of he bedrooms the beams had strange markings. I forget what they looked like, but I remember the theory being advanced that the timber had been obtained from vessels wrecked on the shore. …When my father was turning over the garden he discovered a stone bearing the date 1666 – I remember the date because of its associations with the Fire of London. This could be the date of the building, but I would have thought the inglenook to be medieval.”
