The Larkin family lived at their house in Larkin's forge, Sallynoggin for more than six generations. Read on to discover their story.

Few of us can trace our family to the same location for more than a couple of generations, never mind to the same house.

The Larkins of Baker's Corner, however, lived in the same house from at least as far back as 1847 up to 1997. Take a look at the sketch, drawn in the 1950s, to get an idea of what the house looked like.
