The Recreation Ground - Circa 1905

Smart picture .. never seen that one before ... lot of history here; this I suspect, is the wall between the Recreation Ground and the Play Ground, but I will pour over the 1908 map later to check it out.

1908 OS, now had a look at that, and I remember now, that Rosevean Terrace was not there in 1908; Neither was the Play Ground; There was no road past Rosevean House; that is an Estate stone wall (if only the talent to build these was still with us); Maybe this is looking towards Treneere manor, but I cannot tally the field layouts yet, I need to check levels and contours.

That wall is the lower wall of the field, which was removed and a slope built in when the road was extended. Just taken some pictures from here and matching in the landscape; I will post a map to show it all clearer. Posted two pictures taken from the hill around the skate board area, in the Dave Clarke bits n pieces gallery.

Lescudjack School was designed by Cowell, Drewitt and Wheatly in 1913 and the contract signed in the year; I have the complete building plans; if you were to turn 50 degrees to your right (in the photo) that would show you the school but it was not built then

I have a photograph taken a few days ago which might just help to clarify the angle of the background, but then it might not! I ll put it up now.

ok ....can t wait to see it! laugh# laugh#

aah - you were up there a few days ago.
