Do you recognise this house? The Limes Porthill

[Ebba]

Hello everyone

Good to see this topic hasn't completely died.
For just £14.99 I might actually buy that book and see if there's anything likely in it.
Yes the differences in time between the photos taken has been noted in the previous thread (apart from the church in the snow of course!). Of the 2 of the house front - with carriage and without - one has flowers in the border and a garden bench, while the other has not.

I also think the ones taken of the "side" could be taken at a different time as well.  It's just a hunch.  The windows don't seem to fully match... but that could just be me matching the wrong parts of the house up.

The side views show the steps and that abutment.  Now there's a similar abutment showing on the front view of the house but the windows behind it do not match those on the side view.

Or have I got the perspective all wrong?

did the exciting search for this house that ensued last year just peter out to nothing in the end? the search for the church and the discovery of wolstanton was fascinating at the time..... pity we never did find out where it was.

Hi fmni

Yes I'm afraid it did all come to nothing. VERY disappointing after all the interest it got at the time. I can only assume that house is now gone and forgotten, such a shame.

Well - this is an old thread resurrected!

Are you still active on this site I wonder?

I am fairly sure I know where this house once stood.

Here is the link to my message regarding the boundary wall / carriage entrance:

Hiya Staffsuk,

Welcome to RootsChat!

Is it possible please for you to attach your image please (use the "Attachments and other options" when you press reply)? That would be great, because some of the old flickr links don't work

Hi Staffsuk

Welcome to Rootschat

How exciting after all this time. The gateway as you say is a perfect match-  I hope Ebba, whose thread it is but hasn't been around since 2010, still gets alerts of new replies and comes back to see

The Flickr photos are working fine for me Trystan

Hi Staffsuk,

Welcome to RootsChat

I was just looking at the reply you have posted on Ebba's photograph, they were uploaded to flickr in 2008 lets hope that she is still using the same email address.

If you post your reply on RootsChat, we can always check that the user is picking up new replies

I like photograph mysteries!
