Below is a comment from a person who saw yesterday's photos of Tilting. Several of my questions have been answered and it looks like the town is restoring the old fishing stages. I will have to go back there soon.
My husband is originally from Tilting and could tell me who owned the houses you posted so far and I will ask him who owns the stages. Most, if not all of the stages have been restored as Tilting is now a "National Historic site" You would see a big difference if you visited again. The small white house in your top photo today was his parents house-- Philip & Mary Ellen Foley-- (they owned a larger house but sold it when they moved to Grand Falls to live but kept the smaller one for a summer home) The smaller house was a large two story house at one time and was owned by Philips grandfather but they cut it down and make it smaller, We still own the little house.
I mentioned that interesting fences and animals were among the interesting photographic subjects I found in Tilting. You can see that most fences are made from small trees or twigs. The first two photos show animals inside a fence with a fairly large hole through which the sheep could easily escape. A few of the sheep and horses were up and about at that early hour but many were still resting. I suspect there aren't as many horses around these days, but according to the photos sent by another person on the my list, there are still plenty of sheep.
