Darkhouse was here in the past, is here in the present and will be here for the future
Your photos of the 'Old Days' at Darkhouse will be welcome

                                          do you remember the old Sunday School building
                                                               opposite the Church?


                                           do you remember going along the side path 
                                      to use the 'outside facilities' on cold, wet evenings?
