Hello Granville. I’m pleased you enjoy the range of ornamental buildings featured here. It is always a shame to find such lovely images as the one here, and then discover the summerhouse is long gone. So congratulations to all of the people like you who take action to save these charming structures.

Hello Tom. It was new to me too. A friend showed me the postcard (main image) and I instantly set off in pursuit. I will happily take up your offer, but can I have coffee please?!

A fascinating bit of local history. Next time you’re passing drop in for a cup of tea.
