Hi Ebba

This book would be worth a look if your library could get hold of a copy for you

I'm struck by the pattern of chimneys at 'The Oaks' - is The Oaks the mystery house from behind but with taller chimney pots?  Did we establish precisely where The Oaks was / is last time?

The path that goes around the perimeter of The Oaks is also similar to that of the "side" of the Mystery House.  I also note the garden and trees sort of seem similar.  I am no expert though.

But yes, the chimneys are somewhat similar.

I believe many of these photos were taken at different times too (apart from the obvious one with the Carriage in).

Hello everyone

Good to see this topic hasn't completely died.
For just £14.99 I might actually buy that book and see if there's anything likely in it.
Yes the differences in time between the photos taken has been noted in the previous thread (apart from the church in the snow of course!). Of the 2 of the house front - with carriage and without - one has flowers in the border and a garden bench, while the other has not.

I also think the ones taken of the "side" could be taken at a different time as well.  It's just a hunch.  The windows don't seem to fully match... but that could just be me matching the wrong parts of the house up.

The side views show the steps and that abutment.  Now there's a similar abutment showing on the front view of the house but the windows behind it do not match those on the side view.

Or have I got the perspective all wrong?

did the exciting search for this house that ensued last year just peter out to nothing in the end? the search for the church and the discovery of wolstanton was fascinating at the time..... pity we never did find out where it was.

Hi fmni

Yes I'm afraid it did all come to nothing. VERY disappointing after all the interest it got at the time. I can only assume that house is now gone and forgotten, such a shame.
