My Great Grandfather

'Porky' was George Lawrence, my Great Grandad. He lived in Sewardstone and was a Smallhold Farmer on land between the Sewardstone Road and the Lea, The cottage was pretty much next door to the Royal Oak. His family lived there from the 1850's and my Grandad left there when the land was sold in in the late 1940's.
