Oct Quiz 1
Wonder if you are aware we have just two Georgian bays here in Accrington.
Anyone like to guess, then I will post photos? |

Re: Oct Quiz 1
To be honest, not much idea really. I was in a meeting the other day and we were talking about the town's Victorian heritage and someone said that part of Warner St was Georgian. I may have got that completely wrong

Re: Oct Quiz 1
Must admit not too sure what you mean by Georgian Bay Atarah ? Do you mean a Georgian style 'bay' window rather than the flat ones.
Isn't there one something like this on Abbey Street .. oh hek, would have to go and look. |

Re: Oct Quiz 1
Sorry if not explained correctly, I mean a rounded "bay" - rounded stonework if you will, certainly the ones I am after have windows in - and we have two, in different locations, and yet, they are not that far apart. One you could even class as "a double in the one location" I suppose.

Is the double not Marsdens though ? Wadey has one in the gallery .. but doesn't look like stonework around it. Hope ya' don't mind Wadey. [ATTACH]14737[/ATTAC They have gotta all be in that area as possibly built before 1830... Oak Street, Warner, etc. 'cept for a few mansions, like Sparth House in Clayton. |
