The Witches House by onewing

The Witches House

I am still a bit short on 365 time at the moment, but will try and catch up this weekend.

Here is another photo taken at Hinton on our way home from Tocal a couple of weeks ago.

The house reminded me of what we called the witches house when I was a child.
Certaily does look a bit 'Witch like'.. nice edit..

It is such an interesting house and really reminded me of a house we used to walk past when I was a child. We always gave it a wide berth in case the witch spotted us.
I am not sure where she kept her broomstick Beryl, I didn't get too close just in case.
I do hope the wicked witch got squashed underneath it Casablanca.

@shutterbug49 Well spotted there is a modern antennae on the roof. The back of this property is being restored and is lived in. I think the front of this house will be next. I think originally the front of this property was a shop and their living quarters were behind it.

It is indeed a very old property. On the other side of the road is the Victoria Hotel built in 1840. I must find out the history of this house next time I am passing through Hinton. There is an old village shop further along the street and I believe a post office was built 1835.

The first permanent settlers were 12 ex convicts in 1818.
