Can anyone help me please with identifying the location of Rakes Buildings? They used probably to be somewhere in the region of the Nags Head which was on the opposite side of the road from the Black Horse near the junction of Reckleford Hill and Higher Kingston in Yeovil. They're mentioned by name in the 1861 census, when there were some dozen households resident in the Buildings.
I've been in touch with Bob Osborn, author, and owner of the hugely informative yeovilhistory.info website, but alas he was unable to help on this rare occasion.
I think I saw a photo of Rakes Buildings on the web back in the 1990s, prior to demolition presumably to make way for the dual carriageway, but alas the photo has disappeared...
