Solomon’s Terrace was a little alley that left the main road, over a stone arch with eight little cottages.
A family named Beaumont had one of the cottages and the cottages were on the righthand side and they had little gardens on the left hand side and as you went under the arch you got a marvellous view over and towards Mill Hill because it was all fields. It was a brick cottage, one up and one down with a kitchen and an outside loo. Tiny little places but very attractive with all the old English flowers in the garden in the front, honeysuckle and hollyhocks, nasturtiums.
