On Page 12 reply 106 you will see a closeup of this area and it appears to be chimneys.  :)


Thanks Ruskie. I don't know how I missed that page.

It still looks like a tower to me. It takes up space from just behind the right hand chimney to behind the ivy covered chimney and all the space in between down to the roof-line. That's a pretty wide chimney.

The pines suggest Norfolk to me. There are hundreds of derelict churches in Norfolk.

Here you go Scouseboy:
http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/sidebyside.cfm#zoom=16&lat=53.1855&lon=-3.3162&layers=171&right=BingHyb

I am not sure if the location of your nursing home as suggested by Google is completely accurate, but you will see there is nothing on that site on this map. :-\

Added: I see google's suggested location was not accurate and I have discovered the entrance to the nursing home right beside the church. And yes, there is a structure on the site on the old map.
The layout of that house as it existed then and as it exists now does not bear any resemblance to Caz's house. (Image of nursing home was posted earlier by Jen I believe)

I'm giving this up now (I should have done so ages ago  ::)). I feel like too much time has been spent trying to prove you wrong Scouseboy, when it would be better spent trying to find the true location of the house.
Thank you for that link.   I had to move the position slightly  to locate Fron Yw.

The drive up to Fron Yw  starts adjacent to the Church, but the drive is perhaps 500 yards long, and leads to other properties as well.

I have got a photo   with the caption  "Rebuilding Vron Yw c.1906 to its present form"

It seems to me that one of the things they were changing is the main entrance to the house from the back to the front.          They re-cycled some of the window frames from the old house to the new house.  My photo  shows about 24 men working on the site.

Can we see that photo please? It is not Caz's bouse, but since we've got this far you might as well show us.

It IS the same site  but with a re-modelled house built in the same location.  And Parts of the house in Cazzas photo just modified slightly.

That's wonderful that you have a photograph.  I hope it isn't just of a building site though, 'cos that won't help at all.  :(

Are you able to scan it to show us all, please?  :)  Or if no scanner, can you take a digital photo of it and upload that?  We'd all like to compare the images.

I can't understand, Scouseboy, why, if you are so certain that it is the correct site,  you seem unwilling to show us the photo? I also can't see why you are so sure that it is the correct site?

This really has to be a wind-up.
