Further references

"Mr Young laid claim to the house in the early 60s. He never lived there permanently. He used it to store salvage works and antiquities. It had no electricity and was very basic, when the family came to stay for a day or two they made use of oil lamps. The space between Craig House and Young's cottage was empty with just the foundation slabs of the previous house on pure white sand. The children used it as a sand pit and a short cut to and from Back Dykes. After a few years Mr Young put up a fence with a sign saying 'danger keep out'. He planted bamboo. The bamboo eventually got so dense that you couldn't get through it. The thing I remember most about the house was the sea serpent door knocker. His daughter sold the house and land fairly recently, to a developer, who built Palace View and Pitcairn House."[3]
