Pear Tree Barn, Willersey Road

Present-day address: Pear Tree Barn, Willersey Road, Badsey

A house is being built on the site of a bungalow, originally called Bohemia Garden,s which was built in about 1910 and destroyed by fire in 1934. The land was sold to Fred Roberts in the 1940s; for several years he lived in a caravan on the site, made rhubarb wine which he stored in the cellars and held parties in what remained of the bungalow. Following his death in 2013, the land was sold a year or two later by his nephew.
