Bar Cottage Remains -- "The remains of the home where Emanuel and his fore-fathers lived for over 170 years at Bar Passage, where they operated the ferry across the Helford River. The fireplace was part of the cottage and a greenhouse has been erected on the stone floor of the cottage. This one chimney or granite fireplace is a beautiful example of the old open fireplace with great granite boulders on either side. The back wall is complete for about ten feet and at the other end is another fireplace, but filled in. The owner was very helpful and permitted photographs and told me that I had arrived just in time as they are planning to build a sun-room/conservatory with the big wall for the back of it."
"I was told that the previous owner had seen an old lady sitting in a rocking chair by the fireplace in the ruins crying, because her husband had been drowned. (This we believe was Jane Long Ould, whose husband, Emanuel, was drowned.) She has been seen by numerous people in the area many many times, sitting in the same chair rocking and weeping. Then the gardener told me that he had worked in the gardens and he and a friend had often seen an old man at the top of the gardens, and that on the track from the cottage to Budock Vean, he and his fellow-gardener had always had trouble with their small tractor if they went along this spot about 4 o'clock of an afternoon. It always seemed to give trouble at this certain spot and they felt sure this had some connection with the old man they had seen who is apparently the ghost of the man who was drowned at about 4 p.m." ©1969 Betty Farrell
Bar Cottage Remains against modern house-- "Below, are the remains of the cottage, showing the relations of the remaining fireplace to the house and gardens of today. The fireplace at this end is intact. I could not take it from the other direction because a greenhouse is in the way. The present owner, quite a likeable young man, is a retired millionaire." ©1969 Betty Farrell
The Helford Estuary, Cornwall -- The Helford Estuary provides some of the most beautiful country in Cornwall. The area is thickly wooded, sprinkled here and there with tiny villages, one of which is Helford, enchantingly set in a creek of the river. The Helford River is deservedly popular now with yachtsmen, and a Regatta is held in August. The remains of the Oulds Cottage are located on the left corner of the card and would be slightly to the left of the large white house, on the opposite side of the bar." ©1969 Betty Farrell

Church at Philleigh -- St. Just-in-Roseland Church. "The transept and chancel of this lovely church are 13th century, and the rest of it two centuries later. Its beautiful situation on the St. Just Creek and its flower-filled garden give it a rare beauty. Jane Long Ould was christened in this church." ©1969 Betty Farrell

Modern Cottage at Mawnan Smith -- "A picture of one of the few remaining cottages with a thatched roof. It is known as the Red Lion Inn at Mawnan Smith, but it gives an example of the types of homes our Oulds kin lived in." ©1969 Betty Farrell
