Where Am I? No 12

I'm not following this I think. Are you saying that Caz's photo is of the old house? If so, I don't see how a photo of the new one being built will help identify it.

Yes. The story is that, despite its 19th/early 20th century appearance, Cazza's house is actually a 17th century building. Around 1906, it was demolished, or at least substantially rebuilt to become the present Fron Yw. This is despite the fact that all the old OS maps show a house that could not possibly have been Cazza's, and the fact that the photo is clearly not as old as 1906.

 The main bit of evidence for all this is that both gardens have a sloping bank and a flat area.

The photo's showing the present house being rebuilt can't possibly help unless there were some elements of the 17th century house still visible and identifiable as being part of Cazza's house. Don't hold your breath.

   You have no evidence for saying   "It could not possibly have been Cazzas"

It was a multi-facetted  house  with many different faces.

You dismissed it  "out of hand"   way back at about post 141, without much thought or much careful analysis and now you are not capable of reviewing your   ideas  despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

All the evidence is that it IS Fron Yw.

That's truly hilarious.

Scouseboy, could you possibly take a digital photo of the 2 photocopied pages and email them to Cazza?  We can then give our opinions and move on with this thread one way or the other.

Just felt I had to respond to the postings by Scouseboy on his belief that Vron Yw or Fron Iw is Cazza's   house.

Half tile hung houses are not a feature I have ever seen in North Wales. There are many varied styles of architecture and building materials but if this was a 'Welsh house' it would either be built of stone or brick and I say this having lived in the area for over half a century!!!!

The style of house may be similar but the 'vernacular' is wrong.

I believe that this house is either in Sussex or Surrey.

Here again are the two pictures together.
I think Scouseboy is having a lovely time, winding everybody up, when he can see there is no comparison or anywhere near it.
We probably have all found property which makes us stop and have another look. These two photos do not fall  into that category.
Another example of Scouseboy's sense of 'fun'. Spidermonkey recently posted a photo which turned out to be Auld Brig o' Doon. Within 25 minutes of posting here are Scouseboy's suggestions - Shrewsury, Compton Acres, Poole, Bournemouth and Durham.
I will say no more.

Even the slope is different, and that was one of the criteria that Scouseboy was using. In the second photo there is only one slope, on the original there are two, and two sets of steps.

Perhaps it is time this thread was closed as it is going nowhere, then if people have positive proof of where it is and photos to back it up, they could PM Caz, who could then let us know?

Sorry Scouseboy, but I see no resemblance whatsoever.  I think you would like Cazza's house to be the house where your relative stayed, but it is definitely not.

I personally think we should now disregard any posts regarding Fron Yw and concentrate on finding where the house really is.
