Your Editor Speaks... Is it, or isn’t it? In last month’s magazine we printed an article showing a photograph, which was said to be “Fig Tree Cottage” and suggesting that the photograph was taken on the North side of New Street, just past the Wilby Road turn off. In my mailbag this month was a letter from the current owner of the property casting doubt on this and suggesting that the photograph is possibly Maybush and could have been taken from the upper floor of the Coach House that belonged to the Old Rectory, but it’s difficult to know as neither the Coach House or the Old Rectory still exists. I have to say that as a newcomer to Stradbroke I don’t know, but I bet that there are people who read this magazine who do and it would be great to hear from you! Tony Ambler
