I believe that it was demolished  in 1906

Maybe towards the back end of August. On a Sunday afternoon, perhaps 4.15ish?

I think you might find that it was actually the end of April - the 28th to be precise. But you are spot on with Sunday at 4:15.  ;D

Just having a joke Scouseboy.  ;) ;D

Can you please let us know what leads you to the conclusion that the house was demolished in 1906? If you know something that we don't please put us out of our misery.

You know I'm sure I can hear Yorkslass beavering away in the background and one day she's going to knock us for six and find No. 12 like she did with the building in India….no pressure mind!  ;D ;D

Sadly as much as I don't want to think this is the case, I think that perhaps Tower, Tudor, Quirky and Thatched (good name for a solicitor's firm  ;D ;D) are now but a distant memory.

Of course there is still a church and a bridge hiding out there as well.  ::) ::)

If you refer back about three weeks on this thread,  I thought that it was Fron Yw  at Llangwyfan,  near Denbigh in North Wales.

I spent many hours in my library  and the County Archives and Records Office  searching for proof.

The location of the grass slope  relative to the NEW Fron Yw makes me  more than 70%  certain.

My next step is To go and  ask  The Community Archive Group  if they have any old photos.

Fron Yw  at Llangwyfan

No, I don't think so.

(just because there may be a similar grass slope it does not automatically mean that the house is the same  :-\)

Other factors in addition lead me to my belief. I have visited the new build Fron Yw  because my relative lived there.  And  objects inside the house   indicate that the site has been  in use for a long time before 1906.

Demolished in 1980 - you'd have thought they would have known better by then.  :'(

Tower - check (sort of)
gables - check (sort of)
other features - um, maybe not

 ;)
