'We used to go to Garden Parties at Joyce House when I was a child, the only other memory I have of it was the apple tree blossoms in the spring that hung over the wall and sent blossom confetti onto the dusty pavement of Farmhill Road'.

I remember going to the garden parties there. We lived just over the road at the time in 2 Farm Hill Road, now No 3 I believe. I recall boat trips in a small rowing boat on the lake in the grounds that had two? small islands in it.
