Leasowes House, Penn, Wolverhampton

[hmtree]

Does anyone have any photographs of, or information, about Leasowes House, Upper Penn, Wolverhampton. This building was demolished in the 1960s and once belonged to a local businessman named Sidney Cartwright.

I would be most gratefull for any images of this building as it featured a lot in my childhood years.

Many thanks
H.

Hi Jason

My maiden name was Jones and I am the great grandaughter of Mr Jones,  of The Leasowes. I lived in the house with my family until 1953.  Mr Jones would have been your great, great grandfather.
No photographs of the house to be found anywhere but I can remember everything about the Leasowes. I will keep searching for a photograph as it was a splendid house.

I have gathered lots of information about the Jones family.

Contact  me if you would like to know more.

Hi thanks for your email.  It was very interesting.  Would it be possible to know your name.  My name is Jason Cole .  You may remember my mother Dianè jones and my uncle David.  My grandfather who was the youngest son was called Harry.  Who were your father and mother.

It would be wonderful if you could find a photograph of the Leosowes and also tell me more about it.

I look forward to hearing from you.
