The White House - clifton house, clifton villa
10th July 2018
The White House is on the common and, as "Clifton House", was a girls' school for a time. Alfred Pearse, a foreman tailor and cutter, lived at "Clifton Villa" in 1881 - and this is now the present White House. In 1901, the house was occupied by 57-year old farmer William Brooks and his family.

White House 1: This view from 1910 shows the front door of the house - which is not the modern front door facing the road. The front door on the photograph was at the left-hand side of the house as you face it from the road, and you can see Clifton Cottage next to it on the left. This door is now covered over by a conservatory.
White House 2: The house in the late 1990s - with a yellow door - and for sale.
White House 3: The house today, with a red door!
