Jings .. you two must be suffering from double or even triple vision, as I can assure folk that there's only one of the old Breakplough Cottages remaining.

JD, If you look on the previous page here and also in the Threetowners Lounge forum you'll see that I posted 3 recently taken pics in the 'Breakplough, Stevenston' topic that was started in 2009 by peterm1711.
There's only one of the old Cottages left now in Breakplough, but there are some much more modern built homes very close to it.
