Jesse HOOKINS (Tree A)

Several previous posts have related to Jesse HOOKINS and his family and Jesse's move to South Wales to work as a coachman for the Crawshay family based in Llantwit Major at Dimlands House. The picture below shows the road entrance to the Lodge where Jesse lived as well as the entrance to the estate. The top picture shows an advertisement which appeared in
recent years when the Lodge came up for sale. This highlights the prime location of their home with views over the Bristol Channel and the accommodation even boasted an en-suite bathroom at the time of sale - surely not a luxury which Jesse would have enjoyed. It is good to know though that the dwelling where Jesse made his home with his family still remains standing even if, as I understand it, the rest of the estate has been turned into housing.
