A total mystery Location with nothing to go on.

Hi,

I was wondering when your wife's family used to take photos ?
I know that it would be rare for my family to take photos around home but would take the camera if they were on holiday or visiting family or friends or a special place or occasion.

Hi Glen, many thanks for your reply, they used to take photographs all of the time, my wife has snapshots of them sat in the local park etc with their friends, I think it was something that they just used to do.

Below is a link to another one which I looked into with the help of fellow Rootschatters, this turned out to be taken only about 2 miles from where each of them lived.

Regards. Frank.

Actually the "ornaments" on the extensions do look like chimneys, though there are also chimneys on the main part of the houses, too.
The back parts of the building would have been those extensions you often see, more in towns than in the country,on houses whereby a bathroom upstairs and a kitchen downstairs were added to the original house. There also looks to be a single storey bit added on as well. I'd guess this was a scullery/wash-house/outside toilet.. So, in fact each of the 4 houses would be really quite a decent size.

Hi bykerlads,
Yes, that's as I see it, hence my original thinking that they are Railway or Farm cottages.
There are quite a few houses around Thorne/Moorends which were built along the same lines including a couple of canal side houses where the owners opened and closed the bridges, and still do to this day.

Is that just a bush on the right hand side of the photograph or do you see something else there?

Yes  I think its a long single storey building with two large windows.  perhaps a workshop or similar

Hi purlin,
Many thanks for your input, are we talking to the right of the bush on the right of the photograph?
or are we talking to the right of the bush on the right hand side of the building?, I think I can see something in both places to be honest. 

Or am I just looking too hard?

Regards.
Frank.

 To the right of the bush at the right of the houses.  To me it looks like a low building stretching towards the road with two either large doors or windows.  On the right there's also what may be a water tank sited on the roof or possibly a chimney.

What about 1-4 Marsh Lane, which stood at the crossroads of North Common Road and Marsh Lane just north of Thorne. The 1932 and 1962 1:2500 Ordnance Survey maps (available on www.old-maps.co.uk  co-ordinates 468200, 415600) show they were a row of four houses with the staggered rear projecting wings that strongly suggest the style of houses shown here - a two storey projection, then a slightly thinner single storey section. The couple would have been standing on North Common Road just west of the houses - and the OS map labels a drain running along the left hand side of the road, which you can sort of make out in the picture. The houses are no longer there - there's a modern bungalow called Stone Bunglaow on the site, plus the road beyond has been modified as it now goes up and over the M18 just east of this spot.

Looks a perfect fit to me!
