Inside the gallery, I would always look for the portraits of John Mercer and his family. In those days I would notice the prominent noses and look to see if we had an ancestral connection to the famous Chemist. Now I know better, as we're not connected at all. But it was fun to dream. Many thanks!

Glad you liked the gallery tour, the rhododendrons were grubbed out some years ago, you can now see the gallery from Manchester Road as you drive passed. If you look at the panoramic thread, pictures 1,2, and 8 show where the largest bushes used to be, and what is there now.
