They were demolished (houses, not the people) and two nice bungalows built in their place. There was another row of four further up that road when I first came here with people living in them.

In all seriousness, it would not be permitted to be demolished and would be placed under a preservation (not restoration) order for posterity! We have an old homestead very near to me Elizabeth Farm which is merely a sandstone shell. The National Trust won't restore it but because Elizabeth Macarthur lived there briefly, it's considered of historical importance despite its delapitated state . . .weird. I'd like to rennovate it and turn it into a pub! In my neck of the woods it would be called a renovator’s delight with all amenities and loads of potential!

LOL I am getting in the mood to move, too. We have lived here for 26 years and the house is too big now and needs more maintenance than we can do - or afford to do.
