"Delia", Pitchers Hill, in about 1934

This house was built, in about 1934, by George Frederick Cox, who had emigrated to Canada in 1910, but returned to Wickhamford in 1933.  He bought some land alongside Pitchers Hill and had this house built.  He named it "Delia" after the place in Alberta where he had settled. In the picture are his wife, Dorothy Rose and daughter Alice Mary (b. 1931, in Canada).  She married John Maurice Pedlar, in Wickhamford, in 1954.  George Cox opened a shop in the house and eventually built an extension that became a shop and Post Office.  The open fields behind the house are now the location of many houses.

Thanks are due to Glenn Cox for supplying the photograph.
