Where Am I? No 12

[cazza59]

55 pages though is a lot to trawl through and much of it is irrelevant. 

Go to your profile and adjust the ''replies per page'' to 50.

I only have to go through 10. 

But I understand if people don't have the connection speed etc to do this.

I've been a member of Rootschat for 10 years…and never knew that until now!

I thought because most of your posting was pics you chose not to. With mention of limits etc I figured you were saving money 

If I go anywhere that has limits I always go the highest. Ancestry 50 per page

Cornwall OPC 100 per page

etc etc

            I appreciate the time and effort that he has put into the search and he has certainly gone the extra mile, however I think it's time to concede once and for all,  that as much as we would like it to be, this is not "Cazza's House".                                   

I agree Caz. We now need to turn our attention to finding where it is/was, rather than trying to prove where it isn't.

Way back on page 12 I think it was someone posted a link to the    nursing home Fron
If you compare the middle part of the Cazza original photo with the right hand side of the nursing home.  You will see that the dimensions of the windows and number of panes corresponds very closely  in both houses. QED


What a very sensible idea!

If Scouseboy can provide photographic proof sometime down the track that would be wonderful.   However, in the meantime let's do what Groom suggests, and move on to other ideas.  I think it might be a worthwhile exercise to go back through the pages and collate the very insightful comments regarding the design, layout etc of the building, to see if there are any clues that might provide further search terms.

Yesterday I read through some of the earlier threads, and it was striking that most of the images in the original set were linked to the Clifton-Brown and related families.

As this house isn't a big country house like some of those others, I wondered if it might be a house on one of those estates...

I only discovered this Where Am I? series after it had been running for quite some time, haven't read through all the solved pictures, and have only picked up occasional references to the Clifton-Browns etc.

To help me and any other latecomers, would anyone be able to list the places they were associated with, please? Sorry if that's a big ask (and if it's too big, don't worry), but it may be easier for someone who's actually read the threads to pick out the relevant ones than for me to go through them all one by one.

Thanks,

Arthur

(I think that quotes the bit you've just written - it appeared in your post as a quote rather than as something original.)

In view of recent discussion of number of posts per page, since many of us have the number set differently it doesn't help to tell us what page a particular post is on, especially when you're a bit vague about it. (We also don't know what setting you are using.) Please could you find the actual post and tell us what number it is?

Arthur,  there is actually a map done by Trishanne (Pat) that shows the locations of most of the WAIs, I'll bump it up to the top of the board.  However from memory:

Burnham Beeches, Slough - home of the Clifton Browns
Balhomie - Perthshire - home of the Moon family
Glen Lyon - Perthshire -
Inverewe Lodge - Rosshire - home of the Hanbury family
Ravensworth Castle - Newcastle Upon Tyne

   OK

Here is the link  www.northwalescare.org.uk/caresearch/pages/1896/nursing_homes_in_denbigh   

And if you go to  Reply 141  you will see  two houses side  by side.

[ScouseBoy]

When you compare the photos, it becomes obvious that virtually everything that could be different about these two houses IS different. They are not the same place.

This is the point at which the Search could have been completed.

If you look at the section on the Nursing Home  with the door in it.  Compare  the three upstairs windows with the old photo. you can see  that the spacing  is identical.   The lower ground floor  are on a similar scale.  the window frames appear to be identical in style and size.
