Is it a map...? Is it a game....? Any ideas appreciated!

Although Watt's son lived briefly at Speke before his early death, it was not until his son, the last Richard Watt carried out a major programme of restoration work. The house was then leased to Frederick Leyland, a shipping magnate and patron of the arts, who was responsible for carrying out further restoration work on the ground floor rooms in 1867-78.
maybe his doodle

or maybe where the ladies had to stand in their coloured dresses

Yes. The true story about the ghost is very sad...I googled but haven't been able to find the correct story. If I do I will post it. Truly sad.

I met only one ghost in my two visits  Second time around I was not too happy about being there...I didn't go inside   It is an amazing house. If you ever get the chance to go there you can feel history happening...it's a very lovely house. Well worth a visit...barring ghosts

How could she kill herself and THEN (kill) her baby ??

Completely off on a tangent here but when I first looked at the images it brought to mind a game described in a book by Martin Gardner which I think had some association with the 18th C mathematician Euler.

I've got the book somewhere but decided to Google it instead - in the process I can across this page http://swiss2.whosting.ch/mdetting/eulersquare.html which has squares within squares similar to symbols in one of these images! I think it's purely co-incidental but interesting nevertheless.

Reminds me slightly of those genetics diagrams of Mendel ...
