Cloggs, the house where George and Mary Ann lived from about 1850 to 1864 - much improved since then! George's only son, Albert, then aged 19, left here to enlist in the army in 1854. He fought in the Crimea and in India, retiring in 1875 to live, eventually, in Woking. He can be seen here with his wife, Margaret, and their first two grandchildren, Cissie Jackson and Maggie Taylor, in the mid-1890s.
