Where Am I? No 12

[ScouseBoy]

Someone pointed out the half-hipped roof on the building behind; when I lived in Sussex I felt this style was much more prevalent there and in surrounding counties than in other parts of the country. However, the bay windows seem to have the opposite: hipped below and a vertical gable end above. That strikes me as quite unusual, so is there a name for it that we could search with?

I think they are unusual too Arthur. The taller building looks like a house. You can see windows and curtains on the upper level. The lower building has a tiled roof and skylights of some sort. I'm not sure what that might be.

The two dwellings may be near neighbours, but perhaps the lower building with the skylights may be in the grounds of or attached to the mystery house - as an extension or outbuilding. It appears closer than the house with the hipped roof.

  Namely a COACH HOUSE   and Stables, and accommodation for grooms and stable lads.

As the building with the hipped roof seems to be quite imposing size wise, and approximately the same height as the mystery house, and it appears that there is a chimney on the right wall, it may be that this is the side of the hipped roofbuilding, and possibly the front is facing the trees we can see behind it.

Odd layout and difficult to work out how the buildings are arranged in the grounds.

Earlier in the thread it was mentioned that the front entrance to this house may be on the left, and what we see here is the side view. I wasn't sure about that, but  it does seem odd to have the side view of the house behind and the greenhouse, visible at the front of such a posh house. So may be this is a side view after all.

I think you have hit the nail on the head there.

The main entrance  was changed  from being  near the tower  to the other side.         You can see the evidence of that  on the satellite image.   The paths and tracks  have clearly been changed.

Which Icon do I click on to send an attachment, please?

Just click on the person's name on the left side of the screen beside any of their posts.

This will take you to  another page.

On the far left is a list. Select "send this person a PM" and away you go.

I have got a close up  view  of an O.S.  map  from 1874    which shows three  "semi detached"   properties  .

Can the person  who posted that "side by side"  map/satellite, please go back to the 1874 edition of the OS map, please.

Hello again Scouseboy.

I've just been informed that you are unable to send attachment via PM.

So in that case Cazza can give you her email address via PM and then you can forward the two pages to her via email.

Do you know how to do this?

If not maybe Cazza can 'coach' you to help you along.

I was just about to contact Denbigh Archives when  I realised what a waste of time it would be for the Archivist to duplicate for me what they have already copied for you. I'm sure they have better things to do.

No, at this point I think we should stick to getting these pages sent. Going back to maps is not pressing at this stage. We need to see photos of the physical building. Maps aren't going to prove anything at the moment as we are trying to match up a photo of a house not a map or a plan.

 As Caz is not online at present I will PM you my email address in case you wish to forward the two pages to me.

I am not as technically minded as Caz and may not be able to coach you through the process if you are having problems sending the images.
