Sunnydale is the Last house on Spurgrove Lane and was built during the 1920s for Mr & Mrs Joe Brown. Mrs Brown, sister of Mrs Emma Keep, was one of the people who helped contribute to our collection of Folk History of our village. Joe Brown was a Bucks man and one of the last to speak in the real Bucks dialect. After their daughter Cecily married she, her husband and small son lived at Sunnydale with her parents as many young families were obliged to do for lack of housing. Old Joe liked having them there and when Cecily decided to have her own bungalow built on Spurgrove Lane he was a little sorry. He took a great interest in the building work and each day would say to his wife "I be goin' upender to see how they be a-gettin on" When the moment came for the young family to move into their new bungalow Joe wished them well and using a play on the word said "You be real Uppsenders now" Cecily called her bungalow Upender - the name has since been changed to Sentosa. |
