browsing through the Poole historical site i came across a couple of photos of Tatnam Farm which i remember from my much younger days as a very bleak and muddy location, i did catch newts and tadpoles at the old Well Lane spring.
I was brought up on Lester Rd(later renamed Jolliffe Rd) The Lester-Garland family became very wealthy as merchants trading into Newfoundland especially the salted cod business. An old established fishmonger at the bottom of the High Street used to sell it!
Anyway check out the Lester-Garland house in Trinity Newfoundland; its a great Poole story
