Hi Pam,

In the book 'Weston super Mare past and present by Sharon Poole 2006' on page 109 there are 2 photo's of Grove House with a short history.

Hi Paul

I went to Hazelcroft School in the 50s.

If memory serves me right the Owners/teachers were a Miss Irene Jenkins and a Miss Meaker. Another of the teachers was a Miss Goldsmith. Hope this helps a bit. Elspeth. 

Glad to be of help - As Brown Bros Cafe in the High Street features in the lives of so many older Westonians I'm sure we can help further when we are in the Library on Saturday - the Street directories may be able to clarify the situation. Local newspapers (on film in the Library) which are not yet online may also be of help if (as I suspect) this is the same family.

Taking your last question first.  Looking at the house names given on the 1901census and comparing them with the house names of Grove Park Road in a later street directory it would appear that Brantholme was at No 8 and was renamed Endellion.

I have a copy of the 1917 Street Directory and the BROWN family were not at 8, Trwartha Park nor 31 Trewartha Park when that was compiled (probably in 1916).  However, Wilfred M BROWN was at No 15 Trewartha Park.
