At the time it was the offices of the lawyers for the Pakistani cricket team and they had done a lot of work to restore things internally. Stood in the massive fireplace, what a great feeling. I wonder how you and I are related?<br />Regards<br />Samantha (brummiesammi@gmail.com)Sammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520998169805991310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340590662670087668.post-91950709440836308592010-06-14T16:31:04.380+10:002010-06-14T16:31:04.380+10:00It is only on my Mother's side that we can go ...It is only on my Mother's side that we can go so far back the rest stops just prior to world war one when my Father's German ancestors fled Germany and we are still trying to find information on my French Grandfather's family. <br />Fortunately on the Rotton side of the family the family tree has always been there so we didn't have to search. <br />James thanks to Pink Faerie's message and the address there I have seen some inside photos...Not exciting...but the use to which the house has now been put is.<br />Thank you all for visiting and your comments.

Haven't ...Ooh, I feel the daughterly pressure!! Haven't had a chance to go up there yet, but a little bit of finger work on the computer has discovered something quite lovely! I do regret to inform you Mama, that the house appears not to look like any of the above anymore and is not somebody's homestead. Instead, it is being used for something quite special - a charity centre for arts therapy. You can read about it on their website - http://www.bcat.info/index.asp <br />With such an artistic streak in our own family, I suspect Ambrose and Bridget would be delighted that their beautiful homestead survived so many years (against many odds) to provide those in need with help in such a beautiful and creative way. xxxPink Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141293279027038101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340590662670087668.post-57840517509110660172010-06-13T22:23:42.645+10:002010-06-13T22:23:42.645+10:00That is so exciting - I love the old buildings lik...That is so exciting - I love the old buildings like this in England and the interiors are just as lovely too...
