Where Am I? No 12

[arthurk]

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

Thank you

Arthur,

If you go to the top of the board, you will see Pat's brilliant maps.

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

(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?

   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.

Thanks for the link etc. You wrote:

No they don't. Plus, different roof shapes, bay windows (or lack of), ditto dormer windows, passageway through nursing home, brick vs stone (probably)... how much more must we go on?

That is because the house was RE-BUILT in 1906.   A substantial re-build. New main entrance. New roof 

A team of more than 24 craftsmen involved in the re-build.

Are you able to email the photo to me at all?  It would be awesome to see it and get some further analysis/opinions based on visual evidence.

Ravensworth Castle - Newcastle Upon Tyne

    
AAAAGGGGHHHHH Ravensworth Castle isn't in Newcastle on Tyne. It's in County Durham!!!!!

[ScouseBoy]

It will have to wait until tomorrow, Monday, as the copy I have got is on paper and not Digital.

So, just to clarify, Scouseboy, are you saying that the photo of "Cazza's house" is pre 1906, it was demolished and the link Arthik gave us is of the new house, the one your relative was in? If so, and if, inspite of what everyone has said, you are still convinced that you are right, we need another photo of the house before the rebuild. Have we got that?

[arthurk]

Like groom, I'm confused.

Here you say the photos show the houses are similar:

And when it's pointed out that they aren't, you say it's because it's been rebuilt:

In other words, you are admitting that the only photo that has so far been provided of Vron Yw proves nothing. The only thing that is likely to convince us that you are right is a picture of Vron Yw as it was before the 1906 rebuild - though since the house in Caz's photo clearly dates from about 1880-1920 and you have described Vron Yw as a much older building, your chances of doing so are, I am afraid, minimal.

By all means keep looking at Vron Yw if you want, but if I can summon up the energy I'll be looking in more likely places.
