Gallery: Lost Country Houses
Image Details
This is one of the houses that my Grandfather lived in and is where my father spent his earl teens & twenties. He didn't own the house and rented it. Here I have the original sales catalogue from 1946 which has been kept in the family since then. I doubt if there are many if any other copies of this. It gives a good idea of how things were in those days. Sadly now a housing estate but retains some of the names in the streets.
Hint: Drag the orange pegman to see the Streetview image...

Thank you, that's interesting. It's nice to know there is another picture of the old house.
What an amazing bit of family history. Looks like a lovely place; I’m assuming that Joseph Brailsford was the owner. For some reason, that name rings a bell, but I can’t for the life of me think why!
I think the name sounded familiar because of Dave Brailsford, the cycling coach. Apparently Joseph Brailsford was a local solicitor, and there’s another picture and a bit of history on it here ....
