filskadacat Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 But there’s a story about it I’m sure – surprised no-one has yet come on with it. It was a doctor who built it for himself and his family and to include a consulting room or indeed maybe consulting suite. But then something went wrong. Did he misprescribe something and a patient died? Or did two of his children die? Or maybe both of these things? You can look up at it from my cousin’s summer house and we had this conversation a few years ago – I have forgotten almost all of it but I’m sure there was some great sadness involved and that accounted for it having fallen into ruin as no-one actually wanted to live there. Someone will now come on and tell the correct version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Don't know much about it, but his eldest two children are recorded as having died within 12 days of each other in 1914. One was four, the other was two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 The story I heard was that they helped themselves to some medicine and poisoned themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 http://www.baysights.com/shetlandbooks/shetdocs/storyarch.htmAlthough not about park hall it's self it kind of explains it's position.Think the Olive Walterson is Janet from Westside Pine's mum, not sure how she's doing right now, but true enough she might be able to answer some of your unanswered questions.Just realised the baby talked about is her husband Frankie.

tlady Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 The story I heard was that they helped themselves to some medicine and poisoned themselves. According to the Shetland story No 10 Mary Part 2 It was diphtheria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Don't think there's any need to 'confirm' the stories as they were written by Olive Walterson (nee Bowie) who's father was James Cameron Bowie who built Park Hall Maybe jellybeanqueen will have some more information to add about the house though!?
