			Tim said: "Hurstpierpoint - They lived near Pesterfields Farm and obtained eggs from there. Dad loved going round the farm and mucking about in the hay, the smell of which he loved. There were still carts, pitchforks and horses, though some elevator ladders. There were 1930s vehicles though not many vehicles around.
			Only a barn is left now [or was when we spoke] which has been converted into a house. Ernest Frank kept his car in the barn, and used to drain the radiator every night and fill it up again the next day. There was no anti-freeze available in those days, at least to the ‘man in the street’"

			The 1939-40 winter was very cold. Then sirens went off - the real thing. There were day light dog-fights and planes droning to London. The family had a Morrison Shelter by the French windows at Applesham. Dad was a Civil Defence messenger.

			People were given mortar and bricks to build a blast wall outside their door, and Ernest Frank built one but the mortar they were provided with was useless. They were later given cement.

			In June 1940, Tim had a close scrape when low flying planes machine-gunned overhead in Applesham Way. He hid in a derelict house at the bottom of the road. Ernest Frank apparently hid under the kitchen sink.

			After his remarriage Ernest Frank was involved in the Civil Defence."

So she donated the nine cottages of '''The Orchard''' to be a "cottage colony" for disabled officers. She hoped the servicemen would take up a country occupation, and of many she suggested she hoped that weaving might become a village industry, even enlisting the Professor of Textile Industries from Leeds University. By March 1919 eight officers with their wives and families were in the process of moving in. One was lame, one was blind, and one was badly shellshocked. In the summer of 1931 the trust that handled the cottages decided that Goathland was too quiet for most servicemen and sold them to buy houses in London instead. By this time Ernest was no longer living in the houses, number 6 being occupied by a Mrs. Burt.
