The pond is the narrow but long rectangle  outlined  by something white running alongside the grassy bank,  and about ten yards from the house wall.

That is on the aerial photo. There is no pond indicated on the map.

That maybe because the Pond was man made and probably constructed after the date of the OS map.

Scouseboy.  You don't reply to any of our questions.  Here are four for you - could you please address them? It might help clear things up in your own mind.

1.  Look at the 1888 - 1913 ordnance survey map.  Would you agree that the outline of the house (presumably the pre 1906 house) is of a completely different shape to Cazza's house?

2.   Because of its age, it would also have been a completely different style. (somewhere other, a date of 16th or 17th century was mentioned).  Do you agree with this?

3. Cazza's photo is clearly taken AFTER 1906, so can not possibly be the older house. Do you also agree with this?

4. The photos you posted earlier of Fron Yw shows a somewhat similar house to Cazza's but with so many major differences that it can not be the same house.  Do you agree?

If you seriously still think that Fron Yw is Cazza's house, answering these questions might help us understand why you think so.

Question three.       What makes you think  that Cazzas Photo is taken After 1906?

It was probably taken in 1905.

Questions 1, 2 and 4?

You're very persistent, I'll give you that!!   ;D

I still would like you to think about the answers to those questions though.

Regards

Let me just repeat that one of my relatives until recently lived in Fron Yw Nursing Home. 

The house in Cazzas original photo  was PARTIALLY  re-built and re-modelled in 1906.

Some of the window frames were re-cycled and  installed in the new house. Hence many of the windows look very similar to those in the old house.

Cazzas Photo  was taken for several reasons. Perhaps one reason would be to assist the builders and the Architect.  Perhaps  the re-build   coincided with a marriage?

But how about my questions?
