Riverdale Records: Still good after 52 years

1972 the house was sold to us – the surveyors said it is still damp from the flood and it needs to be repaired before we give a mortgage. 

The people who sold the house paid £7000 for the repairs and it is still good after 52 years. The council built a concrete wall to stop the flooding and they’re now building a complex of 36 units surrounding our street of 8 houses – a conservation area.
