I’m going to do something that I really shouldn’t - no, not that! I’m going to admit that I am no expert regarding the history of the houses in Hooe – you knew that? Well, I’d still like to admit it. Apparently, it’s very wrong for the author of any publication, to admit that he doesn’t know something - well, tough!
What I’ve written is what I have discovered from many sources but, while I’ve tried to check the accuracy of any statement or story, it’s not always possible - and I just don’t have the resources or the time – at my age you just have to press on!
Also, sometimes, one learns something that is very interesting but it’s just hearsay so should it be included? In the case of my website, I believe it should because, as I’ve said so many times, I’m passing on what I’ve heard or been told or what I’ve discovered and hope that someone elase may investigate it further and discover the truth. If I don’t mention it, however, it may well be completely forgotten.
The following details on the houses have come from many sources – scrap books, printed volumes, record offices, newspapers, and others. If anyone can correct what I’ve written I would be very grateful – either by pointing out that something I’ve said isn’t true or by adding something I haven’t got.
