thankyou capetown for all that information.
I've just finished writing up my findings and i just wondered if knavingcots was just one cottage or were there a couple of cottages with that name as their address?
Just got a couple of people who seem to be living there in consecutive years, but one of them seems to have lived there a longer time and it doesn't seem possible.

If you look at my previous message re:  Lloyd George Land Survey


this gives a map reference: 32.10A

Maps are under the heading on the front page.



- appears to be just one dwelling with outbuildings.

Click 'once' on Section 32

and then 'click' twice on Section 10

(I find the screen goes black is I don't do this!!!)

On the 1902 map, according to the key, it looks like there was a trigonometric station there? can anyone clarify that?
