Elsie Allcock has lived in the same house for an impressive 105 years.

Born in this Huthwaite, Nottinghamshire residence in June 1918, she witnessed the final days of the First World War.

At that time, King George V reigned. From this two-bedroom terrace home, she's seen the unfoldings of two world wars and witnessed two royal coronations.

After leaving school at 14, Elsie remained at home to support her family, especially after the loss of her mother, Eliza, who succumbed to pneumonia in 1932.

Upon marrying Bill Allcock in 1941, the couple chose to stay in the house, living with her father.

By 1960, Elsie purchased her lifelong home for £250. Her dad, Mark Hall, a coal miner by profession, had initially rented the home in 1902 for seven shillings and sixpence.
