The Pond  and the grassy slope  appear to be identical.

Sorry Scouseboy but this is getting silly. You haven't given us a shred of hard evidence.

The evidence was given on page 16.

I've looked carefully at page 16, and you made two postings; but I'm afraid I can't see what conclusive evidence they contained?

I suspect that those drawings never got further than just being a Plan, Because ww1  probably put a stop on those plans.

What I suspect happened that the hospital bought a private house  for expediency, to use that  as the Superintendents House.  The Hospital was on a large site 540 acres I believe.   The superintendents house was outside the hospital perimeter.

Thank you for finding that photo.  You can see the points which  are identical. The bank, the steps, The Ivy or creeper.   It will be interesting to find out  when the modifications and improvements were made.

Have a look at reply  374.

You will have to scroll  a little way from the link shown,  but a few inches on the map  you get to Fron Yw  and you will see  a long strip of the pond  about ten yards from the house.

On Cazzas photo, just behind  the park benches  you can see a low wall. That is the wall which contains the pond.

Thanks Jen

I see no pond or even a retaining wall on Cazza's photo but that's irrelevant because the aerial photo itself shows that they are two completely different houses.

I can't see a pond on the map either. Could someone who can see it, highlight it please?

There is no pond indicated on the map.

I can see a pond on the aerial photo, but it is much further from the house than the pond which is supposedly on Cazza's photo.
