I am looking for any information on the White House in Childer Thornton.
Mrs Jones lived there in 1916 and I would like to know if this was a well known house in the area? Was it a big house? and does the house still exist?
I would be grateful for any information.
Nick.

According to the 1911 census it had 6 rooms, the occupant or form filler is asked not to include, Kitchen, Scullery, Bathrooms or Lobby. The address given was White House, Chester Rd, Childer Thornton.

The properties enumerated either side of White House, 1911 census were, D Williamson, Thornton Hall Lodge, Childer Thornton and W Baxter, School Lane, Childer Thornton. This indicates in what order the enumerator visited the properties and not what distance there was between them. The Google Maps link is the White Cottage, Chester Rd, on the corner of School Lane. May have once been called White House previously?

No mention of names in its grade listing (184 Chester Road) but it would appear to be the only candidate.
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music.

Many thanks for your replies. I also think that 184 Chester Road is the only candidate.
I am pleased that it still exists and has a grade 2 listing.
Thank you so much for all your help.
All the best.
Nick.

Hi Nick,
I came across your enquiry a few days ago so this may be a little late in answering. I am the current owner of the White Cottage, what are you interested in? I don't have any information of previous owners (apart from the last two) but I may be able to help with history of the cottage itself if you are still interested.
Regards
Mike

Came across a couple of for sale adds, White Cottage.
For Sale price 1986, £72,500. 1994, £149,500.
Grade 2 listed with date stone, 1746.
The Mrs Jones in the original post lost her husband, Pvt Walter Jones, 13th Cheshire Reg, shot by sniper whilst carrying water to fellow soldiers, 1916.
