Timber frame wattle and daub construct could be in anywhere in England.

Yes I agree. That's why this is a challenge. Nothing leads us to a specific location, but maybe someone will notice something. 

Just a bit of fun and I know how much some like the thrill of the chase. I thank them for their interest and observations.

Keep pressing and guessing guys. You will crack this one eventually like you did the war office roof.

Hi guys.

Just got magnifying glass out. I see no horse and rider just a guy in white shirt with flat hat leaning over bridge. The roof material looks like tiles. There is no castellation
 or lattice work on bridge.    Maybe shadowing con f using.

Yes the timber frame could be a clue. Did you notice building on extreme right by man on c art? Also same square timber framed

I do wish you were all here and could see picture. I just can't scan it any better.

Do pop round all welcome plenty of wine and nibbles, lol.

I just love the way you all get so involved it's fantastic can't thank you enough.

Earlir than a Ford but horseless non the less it seems, although a better scan might prove otherwise.


Sorry I don't understand earlier than a Ford.  What is horseless?  If you mean on the bridge there is no horse. Agreed a better scan would help but if original isn't good it can't really improve what  I haven't got.

Why did you post this? Have I said something wrong?

You said the timber frame couldbe a clue, which is why I posted about that type of building being common across England
The other reference is to a horseless carriage, probably not a Ford. [

Apologies for that.  It is what the  tipsy Father of the Bride said when he was instructed to go round offering cakes to the guests.
