Quaker houses, Allonby.( plus three others )

At Allonby again today, I wanted to carry on from yesterday. This is a shot of some Quaker houses, as far as I know, at one time you had to be a Quaker to live in one. 

The second blip is of the Allonby C of E church. With the village controlled by Quakers, they agreed that the Church of England could  build a church as long as it was built on the edge of the village, it must have plain windows and it could not have a Tower or Steeple.

The second blip is of the old village Police Station. In the good old days when villages had a police officer in a house attached to an office. Police house gardens were large, so as the locals new that they had a chance that they could catch the policeman at home, as he would be maintaining his garden.

the last blip is an old Sunshine children's home. It closed roughly the same time as village police station closed.
