That's a good idea.

Could there be a link through the "Great Western Railway"


Page number 51 and 52 of the book.

Sorry you've lost me. What is the significance of the Great Western Railway? :-\

Scouseboy, you neglected to tell me the page numbers of the copy given to you Denbighshire Archives. And do you have a contact name please - presumably the Senior Archivist?

I would like to email them myself as I am not sure you would be willing to send the copy of these pages to myself or preferably Cazza.

If you are happy to send us the appropriate images, could you please do so as soon as possible?

Hi Scouseboy

Before you start another red herring, could we go back to my questions?

Do you think that the house in Cazza's photo was built in the 17th century?

Do you agree that side of the house (indicated by my dotted blue line) on the Ordnance survey map shows a completely different line to the one on Cazza's house?

The answer to these is completely basic to your theory. The Great Western Railway is not.

Mike

The possible significance of the Great Western Railway  is it could be the link we have been looking for  on  a batch of the photographs.

Can you answer my (and Mike's) questions please Scouseboy?

I think it wise to ignore your Great Western Railway theory for the moment. It just confuses the issue and is irrelevant.  ::)

I looked at a couple of architects too, but I think the trouble with this house is that it has been added to so may not have been designed from scratch by a particular architect.

Someone earlier in the thread said that they thought the bays were added later. This may be. I wouldn't be surprised if the bay on the right was added to the flat fronted section at a later date to tie in with the new double bayed addition.

The odd thing is that on the right side wall of the doubled bayed section is a Victorian style sash window. Does this mean a bit of money saving reusing an old window, or was that bayed section originally different stylistically? Bays added to modernise it? (Possibly already suggested I think)
I recall reading recently  that there was an act of Parliament in the 1890s  relating to windows, and allowing bay windows,  which had hitherto not been permitted. Also it was customary to have window seats built on the inside of bay windows.

Jane Brunning appears to be the Chief Archivist at Denbighshire Archives. Is this the person you have been dealing with Scouseboy?

Nope. Looks like she retired in 2014  .....
