DescriptionPrinted in the July 11, 1978 'Leader'.
At the time, Roger was a Heretaunga-Pinehaven District Community councillor; he later became chairman
In the previous issue, Cameron Jelley had written from Silverstream Hospital, seeking information; several replies were summarized. Two people provided press clippings, from the October 22, 2153 'Dominion' and a recent 'Evening Post', and Miss O M Castle provided details of the cotter family, which had owned the cottage and its 100 acres of land, and had eventually acquired 880 acres (356 hectares) in Silvertream.
The object on the top of the chimney is a 'Black Knight' designed by Groombridges, Masterton plumbers; it swivels on a marble, to direct smoke downwind.
