    1. [DOR] Yeats on Portland
    2. Royston Clarke
    3. Some of the 19th Century censuses of Portland show that there were people who lived in the Yeats district of the Island. I recall that, years ago, my mother told me that an ancestor was a blacksmith there. I know of the Rectory there, which was a restaurant/hotel in the 1940's, and recall a derelict building that I associated with the stone industry. Does anyone know where the houses were, or of any old maps which show houses there, please? Did the area of Yeats cover Easton Lane? In my younger days I walked through the area many times, but usually at night and somewhat weary after climbing Old Hill. Any help at all would be much appreciated. Regards Royston Clarke
