More about this scene
Mells was the village of fabled Jack Horner, who misappropriated its deeds when the landowning monastery was dissolved. The village grew with coal, quarrying, an iron works and cloth making. The green lies on its western edge, with a school, farm and cottages that now support businesses such as internet working and orchid growing.

This home also belonged to our family The Hill family; My parents owned it for a few years. The house came with a goat named Billy who was very naughty and ate our vegetables from the veg garden .
I was 4 when we moved in and this photo was taken whilst we owned the house in 1965. I am now 61 !
It was a gorgeous house and we were always told as young children that Little Jack Horner had lived here once upon a time .
Lovely memories .

I visited the house with my 2nd cousins as their mother, Ethel Smith, and my grandmother, Rosa Matilda Smith, lived in the house with their family for many, many years until the last of the Smiths living in the house died, Will Smith. My grandmother came to Australia in 1920 with her husband and new baby, Rosa Carolyn. All of my childhood I heard of the life and family who lived in this house.
