Hello rsegarden,

Gadget's OH was right.  It was called the Vista.  Here's a link to a photo -

Whoops, the link takes you to Chippenham photos, but if you click on "Historic Westbury", then on number 36, you'll find a picture of the Vista.

He'll be ever so pleased that he got that one right!

Is this another way of linking to the photo:
