SANDY,
Can you give me an idea exactly where this photo was taken,say in relation to Grainbank road or where the shop was, etc.
The wooden building on the right looks a bit out of place to me, so I shall await your reply.
It's my feeling that it was placed there and not one of the original HMS Sparrowhawk buildings.

[Is that not the Grain Earth House's black railings on the left of the picture Peter? Which would make it above where the shop was - Steven]

Well Steven,that being the case, I dont think that this could be the wooden building I thought it was.
Although I stayed in the vicinity for two years,1965-67 approx.,I imagined it was nearer to the houses at the entrance off the Grainbank Road.It was a grand place to stay in the summer time but not so nice in a depth of snow.
