Again thanks for your kind words, much appreciated, I do my best but am only an enthusiastic amateur.
I'm very pleased and a little envious your house has been included in such good books, and that you have such a long documented history of it, very interesting indeed !. I hope your house's life story might be part of a future post ?.

Re old photos of the Ruspidge area, in case you haven't come across them may I recommend two websites where prints can be obtained from the old photos, both owned by keen local historians. The first is from Neil Parkhouse, of Lightmoor Press fame (with Ian Pope), they produce railway & industrial history journals that your husband may be aware of, often with FoD articles, plus other excellent books.

I hope these sites are of interest, and very much look forward to your continued input into this great forum.
Thank you !
