These houses were already old in the thirties. They
stood on an unadopted road and were rented out. The tenants in the righthand
semis overlooked the river "Vechte" which flowed past their gardens.
Nearly everybody in the village knew each other and many of them shared a surname.
To tell them apart most had a nickname, like Puk, Mop and Bakkie, who lived
in these houses.
