Bournemouth but where?
« on: Saturday 29 September 12 19:25 BST (UK) »
I have a photograph taken outside a house, and I am trying to work out what the name of the house is.  The name might be welsh, either V--pa, V--ra, W--pa or W--ra.  Can anyone help?
Fear, Puddy, Bunn, Hemsbury - Wedmore Somerset.  Watts - Romsey Hants, Frome Somerset, Warminster Wilts & Wokingham Berkshire.  Roberts - Newport, Stone Glos, Austin - Monmouth. Dix or Dicks - Frome. Pugh - Llanbrynmair, Trevithin & Tafolwern

A previous thread on the subject is here (although it does go off topic for a while):

It's all a bit of a guess but I personally think it's N and that it's not neccesarilly the first letter of the name as it could be hidden by the wall  ???
Good luck with this one.

I think the first letter is definitely NOT an N.  It's too slanty to go with the other straight up and down letters.  It looks like half a W, or maybe a V, to me.

And I agree with fizzix that it maybe is only part of the name that we can see, because of the angle.

Just a thought why not ask the Bournemouth Echo if they would be kind enough to publish it?

It could be any of those roads in that general area. I am as certain as possible that the first letter visible is not N The beginning of the name is obscured by the angle of the bay window. If still there by now the monkey puzzle tree would be gigantic.
