I was trying to add a picture to this thread
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=615220.0
and couldn't, so here are 2 pictures which I was hoping to confirm whether or not are of the Manse, Summerhill Rd, Coseley

Hi lisa, no this is not the same building as the manse I have pictures of. Also, the number of the one my family have links to is 43. I still have family who live on summer hill road on the early odd numbers side. On the opposite side (evens side) it was waste ground for the whole of my childhood, apart from an old semi of which one side was a grocers/general store we called cox's. There is a little 'sons of rest' building on that side too.
Maybe there was another manse on summer hill road near to that semi? Wish I could help more.

Hi Lisa,

thanks for your help,
it sounds like this is not the Manse on Summerhill Rd.
Too bad they didn't write on the album page where it was  :(

thanks,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

I too am researching the origins and occupants of the Georgian and Victorian houses in Summerhill Road and was interested in the fact that you said the Manse was numbered 37...   I am trying to establish if the Manse has any connection with Albert House or Summerhill House so would be most interested to see any photos you have.  If you have names of the occupants this would also be most helpful.

Regards
Nina.
