Survey House.
Also there's a faded manicule pointing the way on the bottom right of this wall.
There's a record of Dunsmore Brothers being based at Survey House, Brockley Rise in 1933.
Survey House is now the name given to later houses at 50 Brockley Rise & some reports say the company still operate from there, but i assume under a different name as i could not find the name in any modern searches.
K - Knick-knack / Keepsake
Trinkets. Baubles. Mementos. Souvenirs. For this theme, we must see a knick-knack and/or keepsake somewhere in your photo. It can be an object that holds sentimental value, or it can simply be part of the diorama. Perhaps your doll has a shelf with snow globes collected from his/her world travels. Maybe your doll loves nautical décor, so there are miniature sailboats and mermaid statues sprinkled throughout the living room. Or maybe your doll always wears a family heirloom necklace close to her heart. The only requirements are that there must be a doll and at least one knick-knack or keepsake included in the photo.

Cavendish Mews is a smart set of flats in Mayfair where flapper and modern woman, the Honourable Lettice Chetwynd has set up home after coming of age and gaining her allowance. To supplement her already generous allowance, and to break away from dependence upon her family, Lettice has established herself as a society interior designer, so her flat is decorated with a mixture of elegant antique Georgian pieces and modern Art Deco furnishings, using it as a showroom for what she can offer to her well heeled clients.
Today we have not strayed far from Cavendish Mews and are still in Mayfair, but are far enough away in her mind that Lettice has chosen to take a taxi, hailed for her by her maid Edith from the nearby square, to Bond Street where the premises of Bonham’s Fine Art Valuers and Auctioneers* have been standing for well over a century. As it pulls up to the kerb, Lettice peers through the window of her shiny deep blue taxi up at the impressive four storey building built in ‘blood and bandages’** style with its ornate Art Nouveau first floor window and Mannerist bay windows and balconette above. Its Dutch Revival roofline just manages to outdo the red brick buildings to either side, and Bonhams is by far the most eye catching of them and it stands out along the Bond Street streetscape.
“That’ll be three and six, mum.” the Cockney taxi driver says through the glass divider between the driver’s compartment and the passenger carriage as he leans back in his seat. Stretching his arm across the seat he tips his cap in deference to the well dressed Lettice swathed in powder blue and artic fox fur in the maroon leather back seat.
Lettice smiles, fishes out her snakeskin handback and withdraws her coin purse from within its confines. She pays the diver his fare and a little extra for having brought her a relatively short distance when he could have taken someone going further than Bond Street. “Keep the change.” she says breezily as she hands him the money before depressing the handle of the taxi door and opening it.
“Thank you, mum.” the taxi driver replies with a smile as he tips his cap yet again. Flicking his sign to show he is available for hire, he puts the idling engine of his taxi into gear and pulls away from the kerb.
“Oh thank god you’re here, Lettice darling!” Margot cries as she runs from the front of Bonhams, the sound of her heels clicking across the footpath, as she envelops Lettice in an embrace of navy blue serge fox fur and Chypre*** perfume.
“Margot darling!” Lettice gasps, embracing her friend in return. Grasping her by the elbows, Lettice holds Margot at arm’s length and looks into her anguished face, her own face clouding over as she asks, “What on earth is it? What’s wrong?”
“My parents,” Margot’s husband Dickie answers softly as he walks up to Lettice and Margot. “That’s what’s wrong. Hullo Lettice old girl.” He places a kiss firmly on Lettice’s left cheek.
“Hullo Dickie.” Lettice replies with a smile. “Your parents?”
“Yes,” Dickie answers with a rather doleful look. “They’ve come to see whether the painting of Miss Rosevear really is a Winterhalter**** or not.”
After being gifted a Recency country “cottage residence” called ‘Chi an Treth’ (Cornish for ‘beach house’) as a wedding gift by the groom’s father, the Marquess of Taunton, newlyweds Margot and Dickie Channon, invited Lettice to spend a Friday to Monday with them there earlier in the year. Margot, encouraged by her father Lord de Virre who will foot the bill, has commissioned Lettice to redecorate a few of the principal rooms of ‘Chi an Treth’. Margot and Dickie also extended the weekend invitation to one of their other Embassy Club coterie, Lettice’s old childhood chum, Gerald Bruton. After the retirement of the housekeeper, Mrs. Trevethan, from the main house to the gatekeeper’s cottage one evening during their stay, the quartet of Bright Young Things***** played a spirited game of sardines****** and in doing so, Lettice potentially solved the romantic mystery of ‘Chi an Treth’ after discovering a boxed up painting of a local Cornish beauty named Elowen Rosevear, purportedly by the artist Winterhalter, long forgotten, and of a great beauty.
“Oh Margot!” Lettice exclaims consolingly and embraces her friend again. “What frightful bad luck.”
“As if my father would miss this opportunity to discover whether we are sitting on a small fortune assumed lost.” Dickie adds.
“And he’s in such a ghastly mood, Lettice darling.” Margot says tearfully. “And he terrifies me when he is in one of his black moods.”
“And Lady Channon?” Lettice asks, cocking her eyebrow questioningly as she glances again at Dickie.
“Is her usual glacial self.” Dickie pronounces in a depressing tone.
Lettice smiles bravely and takes Margot’s trembling glove clad right hand in her own glove encapsulated hands and gives them an encouraging squeeze. “Then let’s get this over with. The sooner we know the artistic background of Miss Rosevear, the sooner your frightful in-laws,” She pauses and looks apologetically at Dickie. “Sorry Dickie.”
“No offence taken.” he replies, raising his own glove clad hands and smiling at Lettice.
“The sooner Marquess and Marchioness will leave.” Lettice concludes.
“I wish Daddy was here!” Margot sulks with downcast eyes as she plays with Lettice’s fingers distractedly.
“Is he coming?” asks Lettice hopefully.
“No, he’s too busy to come. He’s off doing business somewhere here in the city. But he has invited the three of us to luncheon at Simpsons******* afterwards,” Margot replies softly. “To either celebrate or commiserate.”
“Jolly good of him, don’t you think, old girl?” Dickie pipes up with a smile.
“Come on Margot!” Lettice says. “Buck up and let’s get this whole ghastly business over and done with.”
Taking her husband’s proffered arm and Lettice’ hand, Margot walks between them and the three friends enter Bonhams.
The trio are shown into a private viewing salon, the walls of which are decorated with fine gold flocked wallpaper and hung with dozens of paintings in gilded frames of varying degrees of ornateness. There is no plan to the array of pieces of art besides wall space and Renaissance portraits hang alongside Dutch landscapes from the Seventeenth Century and the sitters of Georgian portraits look out of their frames with dewy eyes onto still life works from the Nineteenth Century. The room is furnished with beautiful antiques including a comfortable suite of Regency chairs and settees. A Rococo bombe chest with a carved front that has been gilt and decorated with hand painted roses has Limoges vases and silver candlesticks sitting on its marble top. Thick carpets cover the parquet floors, deadening the sound of footsteps and softening the noise of already discreetly hushed voices. The portrait of Miss Rosevear takes centre stage, sitting on an easel, looking as lovely as ever with her enigmatic smile and sparkling dark sloe eyes gazing out of her frame across her milky white shoulder following Dickie, Margot and Lettice as they enter the salon. And there, amidst all the finery, the glowering Marquess of Taunton and his brittle wife the Marchioness.
Facing slightly away from one another at either end of one of the dainty Regency settee surrounded by paintings, Lettice’s first thought is that the pair could easily be a painting themselves: their chilly stance towards one another make her think it should be called ‘An Uneasy Truce’. Both are dressed in their outmoded London best. The brooding Marquess of Taunton sits imperiously with a ramrod straight back in his old fashioned morning suit and spats, leaning heavily on an ebony walking cane with a silver top, whilst his wife the Marchioness stares icily into her own preoccupied thoughts, arrayed in an equally out dated fine silk chiné high necked floor length gown of pastel pinks, blues and lilacs, a cup held daintily in hand, ropes of pearls strangulating her throat and tumbling down her front. The Marchioness’ Edwardian pre-war look is completed by a large mauve picture hat covered in a bower of silk wisteria flowers.
“Lord Channon,” Lettice says politely as she bobs a small curtsey to her social superiors. “Lady Channon.”
The pair don’t speak, but Lady Channon begrudgingly nods her head almost imperceptibly and lowers her lids in acknowledgement.
“Oh good!” Dickie says, spying a pot of steaming tea on a silver tray on the low coffee table. “They brought tea.”
“Humph!” mutters Lord Channon. “Took their bloody time.”
“No biscuits then?” Dickie asks as he takes up a dainty gilt blue floral cup and adds a large spoonful of sugar to it.
“With that amount of sugar in your tea,” his mother quips icily through pursed lips that seem almost devoid of colour. “You hardly need a biscuit, Richard.”
Dickie looks dolefully at his mother.
Raising a tortoiseshell lorgnette affixed to her wrist with a mauve silk ribbon from amidst the folds in her gown, Lady Channon eyes her daughter-in-law. “Are you with child, Margot?” she asks crisply, her jaw remaining as square and determined, maintaining her look of general distain. “You look peaky.”
“Me?” Margot gulps. “Err… no… Mamma.” The last word spills from her lips awkwardly and she quickly looks down as she takes a seat on the second settee in a position as far away from her mother-in-law as possible and picks up a cup and saucer.
“We’ve only been married a few months, Mummy,” Dickie says defensively, ignoring his parents and smiling down at his wife, locking his gaze with Margot’s startled one as he smiles and pours tea into her proffered cup. “You can hardly expect miracles.”
“Why else did we send you off on an expensive honeymoon to Deauville, if not to propagate an heir, Richard?” snaps Lady Channon.
“Bloody Frogs********!” barks the Marquess, not bothering to turn his gaze to any of the party before him as he stares intently at Miss Rosevear in her gilt frame.
“There is no time to waste, Margot,” continues the Marchioness. “Richard isn’t getting any younger, and nor,” Her narrowing eyes are magnified by the lenses of her lorgnette. “Are you.”
The old woman immediately shifts her appraising eye to Lettice, who in an effort to protect her friend, sits on the settee with Margot rather than taking up a position in a salon chair, to try and draw Lady Channon’s attention away from her.
“Girl,” Lady Channon addresses Lettice curtly. “Isn’t your mother the one who keeps a house in Curzon Street who is dying of cancer?”
Shocked by so direct a question addressed to her brutally, Lettice is momentarily at a loss to answer the Marchioness. “Ahh, no, Lady Channon.” she says finally. Considering that both her parents were at Dickie and Margot’s wedding in late October of the previous year, and as such were received by both the Marquess and Marchioness, she is surprised that Lady Channon is unaware of her mistake in identity of her parentage. “I think you might be referring to our neighbours, the Tyrwhitts of Garstanton Park. Lord and Lady Tyrwhitt do have a house in Curzon Street, and Lady Tyrwhitt does have cancer, but is currently receiving treatment for it. My parents are Lord and Lady Chetwynd, the Viscount and Viscountess of Wrexham who live at Glynes.”
“Tyrwhitt?” Lord Channon barks again, seemingly in his own world. “Damn horse bolted and threw me off. Broke my leg he did!”
“Oh, do shut up about your horse, Marmaduke!” Lady Channon snaps, suddenly swivelling her wiry frame and her steely gaze away from Lettice to her husband. She looks at his upright figure angled away from her with scorn. “No-one gives a farthing whether you broke your leg, your pelvis or your head.” She turns back to Lettice just as sharply, startling the poor girl. “Yes, I see now. Yes, you take after the Chetwynds, not the Mainwarings. You’re a beauty, like your aunt Eglantine.”
“Err.. how is your rheumatism, Lady Channon?” Lettice asks in an effort to change the topic away from a character assassination of Margot or herself.
“Playing up.” the old woman replies laconically, dropping her lorgnette back in her lap and rubbing the small of her back. “It’s the draughts that cause it, you know.”
“All houses have draughts,” her husband replies darkly, proving that he is not so much in his own world as ignoring the company. “At least all the good ones do.”
“Oh yes,” Lettice says a little nervously. “The old schoolroom at Glynes was always draughty.”
She chuckles self consciously when neither the Marquess nor Marchioness comment, but rather give her a look of haughty distain.
“Tea, Lettice?” Dickie says kindly, proffering a cup of steaming tea to her which she accepts readily.
The party fall into an awkward silence: Lord and Lady Channon resuming their poses turned slightly away from one another like waxworks in Madame Tussauds********* and Lettice, Margot and Dickie all quietly sipping their tea, hoping to avoid any scrutiny, or scorn from their elders.
Fortunately they are saved from any further embarrassment or awkward conversation when a rather bookish looking man with patrician skin, horn rimmed spectacles and red hair, dressed in a smart morning suit more in vogue than Lord Channon’s, walks in smiling.
“Good morning, Lord and Lady Channon, Mrs. and Mrs. Channon and err…” He stops when he spies Lettice.
“The Honourable Lettice Chetwynd,” Dickie quickly introduces Lettice to the bewildered man. “Youngest daughter of the Viscount and Viscountess Wrexham.”
“Ah,” the man says with a nod. “How do you do, Miss Chetwynd. Welcome to Bonhams, all of you. My name is Maurice Fox, and I am proud to be one of the conservators and academic historical researchers at Bonhams.” He moves and stands next to the painting of Miss Rosevear standing on the easel. “It has been my pleasure to investigate the origins of this really rather remarkable portrait over the last few months.” He places a hand lovingly upon a curlicue of the portrait’s ornate gilded frame and rubs the gold coated plaster gently. “As I’m sure you’ll agree, the story of Miss Rosevear and Your Lordship’s ancestor as told to me by you son,” He turns and nods his head in acknowledgement. “Is in a word, tragic. However, the artist’s portrayal of Miss Elowen is anything but tragic.”
Lettice glances uneasily at Lord and Lady Channon who both face Mr. Fox, giving him their undivided attention. Lady Channon benignly sips what is left of what must by now be her tepid tea, but with each passing word that leaves Mr. Fox’s mouth, she can see Lord Channon’s brooding brow grow more furrowed as he starts to hunch forward over his silver topped cane. Mr. Fox obviously enjoys being the showman and presenting paintings back to their owners with a theatrical flourish that the artist may not have been able to convey with paint, but something tells Lettice that it is only a matter of time before Lord Channon will grow tired of the researcher’s patter.
“See how well the artist has captured Miss Rosevear’s youthful gaze and almost imperceptible smile. Perhaps he told her amusing stories or jokes as he painted her, or perhaps, Your Lordship, the Captain was present when this portrait was painted, bringing the pleasure to her face.” Mr. Fox again looks down with genuine affection at the painting. “And see how lifelike the ribbons in Miss Rosevear’s ornately styled hair look.” Raising a hand, he indicates with his pale fingers to them. “Only a skilled artist can bring such detail to vivid life. I’m sure you’ll agree, Your Lordship.”
Lord Channon does not return Mr. Fox’s beaming smile, and Mr. Fox either chooses to ignore, or perhaps misinterprets the aristocrat’s stony silence for intense concentration, rather than irritation.
“And the luminescence of her cheeks. A gentle ladylike flush perhaps, or was she embarrassed at the attention paid to her by having her portrait painted? Note the ruffles…”
“Oh, bedamned the painting’s finer qualities!” Lord Channon suddenly yells, his face reddening.
Lettice shudders from shock, the teacup rattling in its saucer noisily as she trembles at the Marquess’ sudden outburst, which is still frightening, even though she had predicted it. Margot is in such a state that she hurriedly drops her teacup and saucer onto the tea table with a loud clatter, spilling dark coloured tea into her saucer. Dickie nearly chokes on his mouthful of tea, and gasps like a fish out of water a few times in an effort not to cough and incur his father’s ire. Poor Mr. Fox physically leaps off the ground and takes a few steps back in fright as he responds to the aristocrat’s unexpected fury. Only Lady Channon seems unperturbed by her husband’s outburst, calmly moving her cup away from her lips and lowering it back into the saucer in her lap.
“I don’t give a damn about that girl’s foolish frou-frou or the tragedy of her bloody story!” Lord Channon continues. “Get on with it man!”
“I think my husband would prefer you shorten your preamble, Mr. Fox,” Lady Channon says in crisp syllables, her voice free of any nerves, her face unsmiling, her jaw square. “And get to the crux of the matter.”
“Just tell us, is it or isn’t it, a Winterhalter?” the Marquess asks, stamping the parquet floor with his ebony walking stick, making all the party present, except his wife, jump.
After a few tense moments whilst Mr. Fox tries to gather his rattled nerves he finally answers, “No, Your Lordship. It is not a Winterhalter.” His eyes squint and he takes a gasp of air which he holds as he waits for another outburst from the Marquess. “Possibly a local Cornish artist who was inspired by his work.”
“I’ve heard enough!” Lord Channon presses his weight onto his walking cane to aid him to rise. Immediately Lettice, Margot and Dickie rise themselves. “Come along Beatrice. We needn’t waste any more time here.”
“Mr. Fox, fetch His Lordship’s coat and my mantle,” Lady Channon says imperiously as she too rises with the swish and sigh of her silk gown.
Lord Channon reaches out his hand to his wife who places her own gloved hand on top of his and the pair sweep majestically away without so much as a second glance at the painting, nor a goodbye to their son, his wife or Lettice. They are followed by the scuttling Mr. Fox, who hurriedly tries to arrange their coat and wrap.
The trio of friends remain in the viewing salon, the atmosphere of which suddenly feels lighter and less energised with the departure of the Marquess and Marchioness, although the cloying scent of Lady Channon’s violet perfume wafts about the space in her wake. They all heave a sigh of relief, look at one another and laugh, releasing the pent-up breath that they have been collectively holding.
“Well Margot my love,” Dickie says with a smile as he reaches out and takes his wife’s hands. “It looks like you get your wish.”
“And what wish is that, may darling?” she asks, confused.
“You get to have Miss Rosevear returned to ‘Chi an Treth’, just like you wanted. Now that Father knows she isn’t a Winterhalter, he’ll have no interest in what happens to her.”
“Oh hoorah!” Margot claps her hands in delight. She turns to Lettice and squeezes her hand excitedly. “You can work her into your designs for ‘Chi an Treth’ can’t you Lettice darling?”
Lettice smiles. “I have the perfect place for her in the drawing room, right where she belongs.”
“Capital old girl!” Dickie exclaims, leaping up from his seat. “Come on you two. Let’s go have some commiseration pie at Simpson’s. I don’t know about you, but with the departure of my parents, I’m suddenly starving.”
“Well, it might be commiseration pie for you, my love,” Margot adds. “But it will be celebration pie for me.”
Margot and Lettice rise from their places on the settee and the three head towards the door of the salon. Lettice pauses on the way out to take one final glance at Miss Rosevear. She smiles and sighs with satisfaction, pleased that the painting will be returned to ‘Chi an Treth’ where it belongs, rather than be sold by the unscrupulous Marquess of Taunton in his greed.
As she slips away to join her friends, Lettice pulls up short and stares at a painting hanging low on the wall of the salon. Looking somewhat diminutive in a rather ornate gilded frame that seems to dominate it, a young man of the Renaissance stares out with sad eyes. His red hair frames his pale face in a pageboy style and a deep bluish black cap sits at a slightly jaunty angle across his head. Lettice ponders, staring intently at him. “Where have I seen you before?” she asks the empty room. She knows she has seen him before, but for the life of her, she can’t think where.
“Come on Lettice!” Dickie calls from the corridor outside. “I’m hungry!”
“Yes,” Lettice replies distractedly. “I’m coming!”
*Established in 1793, Bonhams is a privately owned international auction house and one of the world's oldest and largest auctioneers of fine art and antiques. It was formed by the merger in November 2001 of Bonhams and Brooks and Phillips Son and Neale.
**”Blood and Bandages” is an architectural style that was popular before the First World War where buildings are constructed of layers of red brick with intervening white stone dressings. Normally Portland Stone is used for the “bandages”, but in some cases white plaster rendering or tiling was popular. The rather macabre description of the late Victorian style came about as a result of people comparing the striped red and white of the buildings to the blood and bandages seen so commonly during the First World War.
***The term chypre is French for the island of Cyprus. Its connection to perfumery originated with the first composition to feature the bergamot-labdanum-oakmoss accord, François Coty's perfume Chypre from 1917, whose name was inspired by the fact that its raw materials came predominantly from Mediterranean countries.
****Franz Xaver Winterhalter (1805 – 1873) was a German painter and lithographer, known for his flattering portraits of royalty and upper-class society in the mid-19th century. His name has become associated with fashionable court portraiture. Among his best known works are Empress Eugénie Surrounded by her Ladies in Waiting (1855) and the portraits he made of Empress Elisabeth of Austria (1865).
*****The Bright Young Things, or Bright Young People, was a nickname given by the tabloid press to a group of Bohemian young aristocrats and socialites in 1920s London.
******Sardines is an active game that is played like hide and go seek — only in reverse! One person hides, and everyone else searches for the hidden person. Whenever a person finds the hidden person, they quietly join them in their hiding spot. There is no winner of the game. The last person to join the sardines will be the hider in the next round. Sardines was a very popular game in the 1920s and 1930s played by houseguests in rambling old country houses where there were unusual, unknown and creative places to hide.
*******After a modest start in 1828 as a smoking room and soon afterwards as a coffee house, Simpson's-in-the-Strand achieved a dual fame, around 1850, for its traditional English food, particularly roast meats, and also as the most important venue in Britain for chess in the Nineteenth Century. Chess ceased to be a feature after Simpson's was bought by the Savoy Hotel group of companies at the end of the Nineteenth Century, but as a purveyor of traditional English food, Simpson's has remained a celebrated dining venue throughout the Twentieth Century and into the Twenty-First Century. P.G. Wodehouse called it "a restful temple of food"
********The derogatory term used by the British to describe the French as “Frogs” dates back to at least the 16 Century, partially because of the fondness of the French for enjoying a good frog leg. The term also derives from the flag and coat of arms of the French kings. The ignorant English, not knowing that the fleur-de-lys was supposed to be a flower, though that it represented a gold frog. Hence “frog” became a derogatory term for the French. Interestingly, the term “frog” was used as a derogatory term by the French against themselves. Parisians were often called frogs by the couriers of Versailles because Paris at the time was surrounded by swamps.
*********Madame Tussauds is a wax museum in London; it has smaller museums in other major cities. It was founded by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud in 1835. Her mother worked for Philippe Curtius in Bern, Switzerland, who was a physician skilled in wax modeling. He taught Marie the art of wax modelling beginning when she was a child. One of the main attractions of her museum was the Chamber of Horrors. This part of the exhibition included victims of the French Revolution and newly created figures of murderers and other criminals. Other famous people were added, including Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, Henry VIII and Queen Victoria. Some sculptures still exist that were made by Marie Tussaud herself. The gallery originally contained some four hundred different figures, but fire damage in 1925, coupled with German bombs in 1941, severely damaged most of such older models. The casts themselves have survived, allowing the historical waxworks to be remade, and these can be seen in the museum's history exhibit. The oldest figure on display is that of Madame du Barry, the work of Curtius from 1765 and part of the waxworks left to Grosholtz at his death. Madame Tussauds is a major tourist attraction in London, displaying the waxworks of famous and historical figures, as well as popular film and television characters.
Although the masters in this painting may appear very real, this scene is in fact made up of pieces from my 1:12 size dollhouse miniatures collection.
Fun things to look for in this tableau include:
The painting of Miss Rosevear in its gilded frame is a 1:12 artisan piece made by V.H. Miniatures in the United Kingdom. The easel on which she stands comes from Kathleen Knight's Doll House in the United Kingdom.
The other paintings hanging on the walls have are also 1:12 artisan pieces made by Amber's Miniatures in America and Marie Makes Miniatures in the United Kingdom.
The Marie Antionette suite with its pretty upholstery has been made by the high-end miniatures manufacturer, Creal. The Bombe chest is also a 1:12 miniature artisan piece made by the high quality miniature makers, Hasson, and has a hand painted top to resemble marble and a hand painted front featuring garlands of roses.
The two Limoges style vases on the bombe chest were made by M.W. Reutter Porzellanfabrik in Germany, who specialise in making high quality porcelain miniatures. The Art Nouveau candlestick in the form of a woman with foliate decoration is an American 1:12 size miniature artisan piece made of sterling silver. Unfortunately, I do not know the artisan's name.
The vase of orange roses on the Art Deco occasional table is beautifully made by hand by the Doll House Emporium.
The blue and white tea set came from a miniatures stockist on E-Bay, whilst the silver tray on which it stands, I have had since I was about seven, when I was given it as a gift for Christmas.
The miniature Persian rug made by hand by Mackay and Gerrish in Sydney. The flocked creamy gold wallpaper is beautiful hand impressed paper given to me by a friend, with the purpose that it be used in the “Cavendish Mews – Lettice Chetwynd” series.

Normally its the removal of billboard advertising of the present that allows a better view of the past, but this time its the removal of greenery by TFL next to the Hammersmith & City Tube line that has revealed a bit more of this old sign.
What can be made out, i believe reads as follows....

BEALE & GAPPS
AUCTIONEERS

SURVEYORS & VALUERS
Under that there is a phone number 527 Paddington.
There are 2 painted signs here, almost certainly for the same company, but cannot make out anything from the older sign.
Beale and Capps, were based at 126 Ladbroke Grove and were present there by at least 1900 & also mentioned here in 1946, having previously been at 34 Ladbroke Grove, from at least 1891. At present this address is used by Bective (previously Bective, Leslie Marsh) who were founded in 1881, so maybe there is a link between these two companies.
Also the West London Bowling Club was founded in their offices in 1903, where Messrs L.Beale and F.W. Capps were present.
I met Charles Hanson of Hanson’s Auctioneers whilst visiting an antique fair. Charles and his team were there doing free valuations. I took advantage of a brief moment when no-one was at his gazebo and went over and introduced my project to him. Charles immediately agreed to being photographed.
It was a hot and extremely sunny day so I asked Charles to stand just inside his gazebo which put him in the shade and allowed me to use the interior walls of the gazebo as a background which resulted in a very clean uncluttered backdrop, giving the finished image the feel of a studio portrait.
Charles began his career in 1999, working at Christies. In 2005 he founded Hanson’s Auctioneers and Valuers which is based in Derbyshire. Since 2002 Charles has become a television personality through his appearances on the programmes Bargain Hunt, The Antique Road Trip, and Flog It. Charles became involved in antiques through his love of history.
I asked Charles what would be his dream find at an antique fair for himself to keep rather than sell. After a few moments of thought, and commenting that it was a very difficult question, he settled on a 16th century Tudor period brooch from the court of Henry VIII made of gold in the baroque style.
Thank-you Charles for letting me interrupt your day and for saying yes to me photographing you for my project. I hope you like your portrait.
This picture is number 523 in my 100 Strangers project, yes, I’ve decided to do a sixth round. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

"What are you picking up?" she called.
I squelched my way through the mud to the river bank. "Bits of old china", I replied, "and the odd broken clay pipe."
She looked at my slimey collection in the old icecream tub, her face twisted with derision. "Well, I hate to say it, mate, but I doubt if you'll get much for it".
Well as you can imagine I was crestfallen! I was convinced that this little haul would be my ticket to untold wealth!!
I saw myself emptying the icecream tub out at Sothebys, and a valuer picking up a piece and exclaiming "My God! A Ming Vase! Such exquisite workmanship! It is true that there is some damage - indeed about 99.9% of it is sadly missing - but nevertheless this is a fine vase. I value it at £100,000."

Original order form (£1999 19s 6d), Webasto roof from new, original Cream leather trim
Further Information:
This particular example shows just two former keepers on its V5C Registration Document. Supplied new to Hicklin & Hicklin, Surveyors, Auctioneers, Valuers and Estate Agents, of Beckenham Kent and initially road registered as 'PPA 2', the Rover was subject to a wealth of correspondence in its early years between South London Motors Ltd, The Rover Company Ltd, the RAC and the aforementioned Hicklins all of which is documented in the accompanying history file. Treated to a thorough engine overhaul by Ottringham Garage in 1999-2000 (new pistons, main / big-end bearings, oil pump gears, timing chain / tensioner, unleaded cylinder head conversion), the P5 was entrusted to Chelmsford Autogas Ltd for a professional LPG conversion some nine years later. Further upgraded with a Kenlowe fan, K&N air filter and halogen headlights, the MKIII Coupe was proudly displayed on the Marauder Drivers' Club stand at the 2014 NEC Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show.
Starting readily upon inspection, 'WGU 207F' has been used by the vendor for a number of tours during which its low running costs on LPG, effective heater, working Webasto sunroof and long-legged four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission have all proven their worth. Pleasingly retaining its original Cream leather upholstery, the Rover is believed but not warranted to have covered some 47,000 miles from new. Offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document, history file, owner's maintenance manual, original order form and first tax disc etc."

The first rate records for Edwin Birch, labourer, were in 1872: he was the owner-occupier of `Land Sutton East Riding St Andrews' with an annual value of £8. The same annual value was recorded in 1873 but on this occasion a hut was also included in the description [RB]. This was a `house' by 1877 and the annual value had risen to £10 in 1878. This coincides with the police report on the Hill property where the hut was stated as built in 1878. Ten years later Birch's name was crossed out in favour of Walter A Harris (?) and soon Honor Young (Honor Birch by 1893) was the owner-occupier and the annual value greatly increased from £10 to £30 by 1889: this may coincide with the acquisition of more land (listed as 196 acres by 1903). In the Edwardian-era Edwin Samuel Birch (labourer) was the rated owner-occupier and in 1906 the description was `House & Garden' (stated as on CA78A) [ RB]. ..

Fences were post and wire, the pasture had regrowth of bracken and scrub with blackberry. There was also a list of furniture in the house varying from 15-50 years old, or `very old'. Honor owned 121 acres in total, as compared with the 196 acres of c1900. After Honor's death, George Williams, Walter and Brian Martin were for a brief period co-owners, selling to the MMBW in 1978 [ VTO]...
.More recently Creig Maver has claimed a miner's right for the land.
Painting possibly by the Flemish artist Adriean Brouwer. I say possibly because if not an original, it is a quality copy probably late 17th century. The painting has been in our family for at least 60 years and has recently been restored by the leading painting museum restorer in Cornwall . The painting has little or no providence other that the very difficult to read words in pencil on the back, “Dutch room from Aonce Kirk” . It came into our family, either by inheritance, or by purchase by my mother and father in the 50’s. It has been valued by local valuers a long time ago who described it “Dutch School, artist unknown”.
The colours in the Pinakotheken Museum in Munich) version are different to ours where as ours has similar colours as those used by Brouwer in his painting “Tavern scene” in the National Gallery. Our painting is painted on an oak panel, painted black on the rear side and a very similar size to the one in the Pinakotheken.

Ludlow Livestock Market in April 1982 when it was still central in the town.
The signage of McCartney Morris and Barker Auctioners and Valuers is dominant.
Glyn Owens a partner with McCartneys states on their website "I started at McCartneys in January 1984. Although employed to run the market at Knighton my first day was spent at Worcester on it’s reopening by McCartney, Morris and Barker. Indeed I spent many interesting and happy days at both Worcester and Ludlow during my early years with the firm. I well remember a decrepit Austin Maxi trundle into Worcester market one Wednesday morning and the farmer open the back door and two pigs emerge from the back seat ready to be sold. Who had then heard of the phrase ‘bio-security’!"

.More recently Creig Maver has claimed a miner's right for the land.
At the time of the Great Survey there was a manor in Silsoe which afterwards became known as the manor of NEWBURY (Newberry). It was then held by a concubine of Nigel de Albini, and had been held formerly by Alvric the Little, a thegn of King Edward. (fn. 70) The overlordship continued vested in the Albinis and their descendants, and the manor was held of them as of their barony of Cainhoe, the descent of which is traced under the parish of Clophill (q.v.).
¶By 1284 the manor had passed into the possession of the family of Fitz Richard, (fn. 71) who owned land in Silsoe before that date, for in 1201 Ralph Fitz Richard leased 1 perch of land and 1½ acres of meadow to William Wiscard for 6d. yearly. (fn. 72) The manor remained in the possession of this family, passing to Ralph's son, who was holding it in 1318, (fn. 73) and in 1396, when a settlement of the manor was made; (fn. 74) but the Fitz Richards alienated part of their estate in Silsoe amounting to one-quarter of a fee, which was held in 1302 by Ralph de Limbury and by the tenants of the lands which had belonged to Henry son of William and to William Wiscard. (fn. 75) By 1346 it was in the possession of John Morice and Margaret his wife, in right of the latter, (fn. 76) and had passed by 1428 to John Wayte. (fn. 77) The manor of Newbury and this quarter of a fee then became merged, for in 1525, at the expiration of the term of a lease of the manors of Newbury and Silsoe granted to Henry Wayte, probably a relation of John Wayte, and to Joan his wife, by Edward Daniell and others, (fn. 78) the manor of Newbury passed into the possession of the Daniell family, who held it from 1525 until 1667; (fn. 79) Edward Daniell, who was holding in 1551, was apparently succeeded by his grandson Stephen, who was lord of the manor in 1573 and in 1603. (fn. 80) Stephen died in 1631, aged eighty-four, and the manor went to his son Richard, who died shortly afterwards, apparently without male issue, (fn. 81) as the lordship was inherited by his brother Thomas, (fn. 82) according to the terms of his great-grandfather Edward's will. (fn. 83) Thomas, who owned the manorial rights in 1658, (fn. 84) died in 1664, and there was a disturbance on the occasion of his burial, William Wheeler and John Webb of Silsoe and others refusing to allow the parson to bury him, and casting him out of the church by force. (fn. 85) As Thomas died without male issue the manor was inherited by his brother William, who, with Elizabeth his wife, was in possession in 1666. (fn. 86) The history of the manor during the eighteenth century is obscure, but at some time during this period it must have been sold to the de Greys, earls of Kent, who already owned so much land in Silsoe and Flitton, as in 1833 it was in the possession of Thomas Philip, Lord Grantham, (fn. 87) whose descendant, Lord Lucas and Dingwall, owns the estate at the present day. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Newbury Manor House was surrounded by a moat, but since then two sides have been filled in.
Newbury Farm lies on the site of Newbury Manor House and the current name of the farmhouse reflects this. That this is the site of the ancient manor house is confirmed by two moats which usually mark the site of manor houses. Thus the ownership of the manor house, at least until the early 20th century is equivalent to the ownership of the manor itself.
The Bedfordshire Historic Environment Record [HER] contains information on the county's historic buildings and landscapes and summaries of each entry can now be found online as part of the Heritage Gateway website. The entry for the first moat [HER 217] states: "The site consists of the larger of two moats associated with Newbury Farm, plus fishponds and leats. The moated enclosure is square, with arms measuring approx 60 metres in length. The moat is 12 metres wide and has been backfilled on its south-west and part of its north-west side to allow for the construction of buildings. On the island are the remains of the post-medieval farmhouse and two ornamental outhouses. Three fishponds are associated with the moat and connected by a series of leats; one of the leats connects to the second moat".
The second moat [HER 218] is described as follows: "The smaller of two moated enclosures associated with Newbury Farm. Connected to the complex of fishponds by a leat. Rectangular in form, measuring 55 metres by 40 metres inclusive of the moat, which is 6 metres wide. The original entrance causeway survives, facing Newbury Farm, but there is also a modern bridge. There are no indications of buildings on the island, and it is possible that the moat was part of the fishpond complex rather than enclosing any structures.
The farmhouse, now Newbury Manor was listed by the former Department of Environment in January 1985 as Grade II, of special interest. The department dated the property to the late 16th century meaning that it was probably built by a member of the Daniel family. It was reworked in the 19th century. It is built of red brick with ashlar dressings, some of the ashlar having been rendered. The roofs are made of clay tiles. The plan is described as "complex" and as "apparently originally a hall block and cross-wings, with 19th century gables to the rear and side elevations". The building comprises two storeys and attics.
In 1845 specifications of the farm were drawn up for its owner, the 2nd Earl de Grey of Wrest Park [L26/457-458]. It then comprised 267 acres and 1 pole in both Silsoe and Flitton. It was let to William Peppercorn Squire for £400 per annum.
In 1908 the 9th Baron Lucas of Crudwell, owner of the Wrest Park Estate agreed to let Newbury Farm to Samuel Paterson for £286/10/- per annum [L23/259]. The 9th Baron was killed on active service with the Royal Flying Corps on the Western Front in December 1916. He was succeeded by his sister Nan Ino, 10th Baroness Lucas of Crudwell and she began breaking up the estate and selling it off. In August 1918 the farm was sold to its tenant Samuel Paterson for £8,000 [L23/251]. Paterson immediately borrowed £5,333 from the Baroness as mortgage [L23/255].
The Rating and Valuation Act 1925 specified that every building and piece of land in the country was to be assessed to determine its rateable value. The valuer visiting Newbury Farm [DV1/H51/42] found it still owned and occupied by Samuel Paterson who farmed 260 acres.
The valuer commented: "Sir T[rustram Eve] knows pre-war rent. Water pumped from well, well used for Buildings, does not fail". Another hand has written "Good Farm, know it by heart".
The farmhouse comprised two reception rooms, an office, a kitchen, a scullery, a dairy and a pantry. Five bedrooms and a boxroom lay above along with a bathroom and W. C. Another boxroom lay in the attic. Outside lay a cellar, a coal house, store place, a garage and a stable used as a chaff house.
The homestead comprised: a horse box; a cooling house; a loose box; a cow house for sixteen beasts; a cow house for thirteen and a cow house for nine; a cake house; a root house with a loft over; an engine house; a bull pen; a six bay hovel; an eight bay hovel; three bay lean-to shed; a horse box and three bay hovel; a five bay cart shed; a chaff house with a loft over; a four bay implement shed; an implement house; a six stall stable; another chaff house and a four bay hovel. All buildings were constructed of brick and slate.
In 1981 Newbury Manor was for sale and the particulars [Z156/41] state that it had recently been modernised, re-wired, re-plumbed and redecorated. Accommodation comprised: a porch; a hall; an inner hall; a cloakroom; a drawing room, facing south-west, measuring 17 feet 3 inches by 14 feet 9 inches; a dining room, facing south-west, measuring 16 feet 1 inch by 16 feet 2 inches; a kitchen and breakfast room, facing north-east and west, with a breakfast area; a utility room; a family room facing north-east, measuring 16 feet 6 inches by 14 feet and a study measuring 9 feet 6 inches by 7 feet 3 inches. Upstairs were five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate W. C. A tank room measuring 15 feet by 16 feet lay in the attic along with five other rooms measuring, respectively, 11 feet 7 inches by 11 feet 9 inches, 11 feet 6 inches by 13 feet 6 inches, 13 feet by 11 feet 9 inches, 14 feet by 10 feet 9 inches and 10 feet 5 inches by 11 feet.
Three commercial sized greenhouses lay outside along with a garden store, two single garages, a dairy, a Victorian stable block measuring 40 feet by 18 feet and a four bay open barn. The grounds covered about five acres.
Directories for Bedfordshire, which were not published annually but every few years, give the names of the tenants and owners of Newbury Farm from 1845 until 1940 and the following names are taken from these directories. The dates are the dates the name first and last appears not the dates of residence:
1845-1871: William Peppercorn Squire;
1877: Edward Frederick Squire;
1885-1894: Edward Squire;

Designed by the young stylist Ercole Spada, who had been hired by Zagato in March 1960, the Appia Sport's lightweight aluminium body made the most of the 1,100cc 60bhp engine, the result being a surprisingly fast car for its size. The short-wheelbase Appia Sport would be built until January 1963.
This rare example was delivered new in Turin, Italy in 1962 finished in the same Burgundy colour it has today. The car stayed in Italy until 1975 when it was exported to New York, USA to new owner Mr Nicholas J Godano. It is believed that the Appia was moved to dry storage in California shortly after arrival and remained there, unused, until 2010 when it was bought by the current Belgian owner. A passionate enthusiast, the owner commissioned HAS to carry out a full professional 'last nut and bolt' restoration, which commenced in 2011 and was only finished in 2014.
After the mammoth task of restoring this beautiful car had been completed, it was registered in 2014 by the current owner, who has enjoyed it to the fullest extent. Since completion the Appia has been entered in various concours d'élégance events, including Masterclass Antwerp where it received a 3rd prize in 2015 and in 2018 won the 'Best Restored Car' class.
Recent works include an overhaul of the Weber Carburettors carried out by VGS in Cologne, Germany in 2018 (invoice on file). Accompanying documentation includes the following:
Belgian registration papers
Numerous restoration photographs
Copy of US Title (New York)
Original 1975 insurance identification card in the name of Nicholas J Godano
Invoices for parts
HAS invoices for work carried out 2013, 2014, 2018
Lancia Appia Zagato book
Photographs from 2010 showing the car in un-restored condition in the USA
The car also comes with an independant valuers condition report confirming it to be in General Condition 1, meaning that it is in excellent/concours condition and very hard to fault. A head-turner at any event, this Appia Sport Zagato is worthy of the closest inspection and is ready to participate in any suitable event.

Betty mentioned to Jan the other day, 2014, how when Helen was ill during her last year, she had arranged accommodation in a home for care, and Betty used to put 2/6 in her account each week so Helen had some funds to buy small things she needed.
It is sad that we just get snippets of stories about our ancestors from time to time from a surviving daughter or son. Betty is the youngest and last of the children of Percy and Helen.
We are only now, as she recovers from major surgery, hearing little bits from time to time, and realising the significance of these few stories, as she approaches her 90th birthday. flic.kr/p/6fDEAy
When we visit, we should have a recorder and do "Oral Histories", and document the little stories from our families past. But then one may ask, what for, who amongst all the descendants now are interested, unless they can be posted on an interactive and hyperlinked web site with colour photographs and sound clips.
I had thought of this, and started scanning Betty's 100 page diary of her and Dorothy's around Australia drive in GI-GI the green VW. This was to be illustrated with a selection of colour photographs from Dorothy's slides and posted somewhere. But I have yet to get the OCR scanner to reliably scan the faint pages of the typed diary, and sort through all the slides to illustrate each page.

I can recall when my mother, Lucy, heard of the death of her mother Helen May, in Melbourne, while we were at Bobbin Head Rd. [ flic.kr/p/mKG1Hj ] we never did get to hear many anecdotes of their lives, or we now don't remember them, and the stories have not been written down. There are more photos than text.
Percy died 14th October 1958 & Helen died 22nd June 1957 according to the Cornell Family tree by Rosemary Dutneall 1998....
It is not every family that has a chronicler of family stories, and we from the Cornells and Crowles seem a little short of them. Or someone is and the rest of us are unaware of it!
Larry, and the Cornells in Nowra have collective memory of stories, while Dianne Diprose has an excellent family tree on Ancestry.com
a relative - Dame Florence Cardell-Oliver, our grandmother Helen May Wilson's sister, was in WA politics.
see adb.anu.edu.au/biography/cardell-oliver-dame-annie-floren...
CARDELL-OLIVER, Dame Annie Florence Gillies (1876-1965), politician, was born on 11 May 1876 at Stawell, Victoria, fifth child of Johnston Wilson, an Irish-born storekeeper, and his second wife Annie, née Thompson, from Scotland. On 26 January 1895 in Melbourne Florence married with Presbyterian forms David Sykes Boyd, a 22-year-old wool-buyer whom she accompanied to England. He died at York on 5 November 1902 from an accidental overdose of opium-based sleeping tonic. On 15 December that year Florence married Arthur Cardell Oliver (1876-1929) at St Matthias's parish church, Poplar, London; they were to have two sons.

Percy married Helen May “Nellie” (1881-1957) in 1904 and they had 9 children:
• Jean Helen (b.1905 - Broadford)
• Lucy Annie (b.1906 - Elsternwick) – Bill Crowle’s mother
• Charles Albert “Chas” (b.1909 - Elsternwick)
• Mary Joyce (b.1911 - Sale)
• Ernest (b.1913 – Pinaroo) – Larry Cornell’s father
• Frank Stewart (b.1915 – Elsternwick)
• Johnston “Jock” (Bill)
• Dorothy “Dottie” May (b.1920 – Elsternwick)
• Elizabeth Flora “Betty/Bettie” (b.1924);
• Percy worked as an engineer and surveyor;
•
In 1904, The Broadford Courier and Reedy Creek Times reported: “Mr H. Percy Cornell, who has
been appointed as secretary, Engineer, Valuer and Rate collector, is a young man, full of energy and the world before him. He is a qualified engineer, and has considerable experience in all branches of municipal work, especially in road selections and formation. He is well known to the leading men in his profession in Melbourne. He was acting as assistant secretary and engineer for the Boroondara shire (Box Hill/Camberwell area), and brings a very good testimonial from them. He also brings a strong recommendation from the Public Works Department. In short from all accounts, we are getting a first class man, and residing in the district, he will naturally be able to do and improve many things that require watching
I'm driving VW Golf since approx. 20 years. Golf 1, Golf 2 and at the moment Golf 3. My current car got MOT in June 09, and I decided to drive this car until it will break - although in Germany you have the chance to get 2500 Euro scrappage bonus if you buy a new car and scrap your old car. I decided to abandon this bonus and keep my old car.
But a few weeks ago somebody ran into my car and the valuer determined a total loss. That was a little bit funny because there is no bump or scratch in my car. It's because the support plate is clinched. Also a little bit sad because the MOT certificate is so fresh. When I heard that my car's residual value is 200 Euro I began to think about the scrappage bonus and visited some car sellers. I searched for the cheapest car, and Nissan could offer me a Nissan Micra for 5.500 Euro. At the moment they offer so many bonus and premiums, unbelievable. And so I ordered a new car although I didn't ever want a new car. ;-) It will arrive in december.
Lovely brace of shops and posters in this photo of the Bull Ring and Shop Street in Drogheda, Co. Louth. Particularly fascinated by posters advertising an Athlete Carnival! What was that when it was at home, and can it help us date this one?
Date: 1910-ish?? (but definitely not before 1900)

The Worshipful Company of Upholders is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. "Upholder" is an archaic word for "upholsterer". In past times upholders carried out not just the manufacture and sale of upholstered goods but were cabinet makers, undertakers, soft furnishers, auctioneers and valuers. The organisation was formed on 1 March 1360 and officially incorporated by a Royal Charter granted by Charles I in the 1626. The Company originally had the right to set standards for upholstery within London, and to search, seize and destroy defective upholstery. However, over the years, the Company's power has eroded, as has the profession of upholsterers, because of the advancement of technology.

A sign on this cottage states: `This Cottage was built on a miner's right around 1876..
Originally the home of the Hill Family it then became for almost half a century the home of the Birch Family.' .
Another sign at the boundary states:.
`Claim posted by G Maver 12/11/84' (1984).

The early parish plans show this site in April 1873 as creekside land, with no Crown Allotment (CA) designation, but apparently part of John Hill's grant on the adjoining CA78A (2 acres, now vacant), both on the south side of the Watsons Creek. Adjoining properties were in the names of LL Smith (1879), WS Cheshire (1922) and Timothy Shaw. Hill paid ₤5/7/6d for the land. Application for a License to occupy Crown lands on any goldfield or Lands adjacent there to..
.
John Hill, a shoemaker at Kangaroo Ground, had made an Application under the `Land Act 1869' on 30 October 1873 for 2a 3r 29p. The Application was granted 7 November 1873 but in 1874 after a report by Mounted Constable Walsh on the land. Edmund Harland of South Yarra owned it by 1886 and then Honor Birch purchasd it in 1910, converging the Hill and Birch family ownership history. As`Honor Williams, she was the legal owner by 1939 [ VTO]..
.
Constable Walsh's report describes a `slab house or hut 24'x10' with a bark roof, 2 rooms lined with bark inside, slabs in aprt and Calico part, erected December 1878 in `passable repair'. Hill had been absent from the property for some months working elsewhere but had recently returned. The will of Honor Williams (formerly Birch) shows that the Birch family eventually owned this lot (cited as CA78A,B,C) as well as the adjoining `permissive occupancy' (dated 1/1/1938) of CA79A (this site) that was held as a grazing licence under section 121 of the 1928 act. Throughout the official record, the sites known now as CA79A and CA78A appear to be interchangeable, with CA79A non extant in parish plans [ DSE]. Buildings appear to have been erected on CA79 by the owners of CA78A..
.
The first rate records for Edwin Birch, labourer, were in 1872: he was the owner-occupier of `Land Sutton East Riding St Andrews' with an annual value of ₤8. The same annual value was recorded in 1873 but on this occasion a hut was also included in the description [RB]. This was a `house' by 1877 and the annual value had risen to ₤10 in 1878. This coincides with the police report on the Hill property where the hut was stated as built in 1878. Ten years later Birch's name was crossed out in favour of Walter A Harris (?) and soon Honor Young (Honor Birch by 1893) was the owner-occupier and the annual value greatly increased from ₤10 to ₤30 by 1889: this may coincide with the acquisition of more land (listed as 196 acres by 1903). In the Edwardian-era Edwin Samuel Birch (labourer) was the rated owner-occupier and in 1906 the description was `House & Garden' (stated as on CA78A) [ RB]. .
.
The Probate Inventory for Edwin Samuel Birch reveals the following:.
1.181/4 acres of vacant land Allot 52 sec B at Christmas Hills Crown grant 4407/881379 £60.
2.61 acres of vacant land Allot 53 and 54 Sec B at Christmas Hills, Crown grant 4932/986278 and 3172/634255 £120.
3.18 ¼ acres of vacant land Allot 25 Sec D at Christmas hills crown grant 4462/892271 £30.
.
Landed Property under Lease or Licence from the Crown .
20 acres vacant land under licence from crown at Christmas Hills Allot 12 Sec A £30.
.
3 ½ acres on which is a slab house at Christmas Hills Allot 78A held under Miner’s Right £50.
.
The will of Samuel Birch stated:.
All real estate to Honor Mary Birch and all personal property to Honor Birch (wife). As Honor Mary Williams, she was the next owner and her will stated: `…I give and bequeath all the improvements on the land held by me at Christmas Hills under Permissive Occupancy fro the Department of land and Survey consisting of the house property thereon and all the contents of the said house to my nephew Brian Joseph Martin of Christmas Hills aforesaid farmer’. Documents also describe a dairy being built there in 1935 and that the land had been held by permissive occupancy under Section 121 land act 1928 dated 1/1/1938..
.
In 1977 the will of Honor Williams ( former Birch, died 8 July 1976) described the property at CA78A as including a four room, five square house of about 100 years old, with enclosed verandah, including kitchen, combined lounge dining room, bedroom and store room. It was built of `bush slabs' with a corrugated iron roof. there was also a diary erected in 1935. The valuer noted that the buildings were of little value except for their age: $1700 Shire site value, $3000 capital improved value. This property description matches closely what is on this site. Another description of the permissive occupancy (.75 ha) had a 90 year old double-fronted timber dwelling of bush timber with a timber slab floor and internal masonite lining: sleepout, living, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, bathroom, with a fuel stove and sink in the kitchen and a bath in the bathroom. Structurally it was in a `reasonable' condition for its age. Only the dairy, among the various outbuildings, had any value. Fences were post and wire, the pasture had regrowth of bracken and scrub with blackberry. There was also a list of furniture in the house varying from 15-50 years old, or `very old'. Honor owned 121 acres in total, as compared with the 196 acres of c1900. After Honor's death, George Williams, Walter and Brian Martin were for a brief period co-owners, selling to the MMBW in 1978 [ VTO]..

More recently Creig Maver has claimed a miner's right for the land.
`â¦Until recently a former Girl Guide Association of Victoria property, Tapestry was originally the country retreat of Ann Rylah (later Lady Rylah). It is located at Strathewen, adjoining the Kinglake National Park. Lady Rylah died in 1969 and bequeathed this property to the Girl Guide Association of Victoria who became the proprietor in 1970 . Probate was granted to Morven Bond, solicitor July 1969.
Her will stated: `I give devise and bequeath my property situate at Strathewen 17C 17D and 17 F of Section 4 in the Parish of Kinglake together with furniture and furnishings therein ⦠to the Girl Guidesâ Association of Victoria of 20 Russell street Melbourne aforesaid for its use by the Ranger Branch. If the said Association shall not accept the said property furniture and furnishings them my trustee shall hold the same for my daughter UPON TRUST ANNABEL JANE BROWNELL absolutely. Ann also bequeathed her house at Kew to her daughter my property (15 Victor Avenue Kew) `together with all the contents therefore owned by me which are not otherwise specifically bequeathed by this will and together with the goodwill of the Veterinary practice carried by me at 15 Victor Avenue Kew aforesaid'.
Her will described Tapestry thus:
`Property known as `tapestry;' off Fraser Road and Bowden Spur Road, Strathewen, Victoria. All that piece of land containing 59 Acres 1 rood and 1 perch of more or less so much and such pars as lie above the depth of fifty feet below the surface being allotments 17C and 17D and all that piece of land containing 7 acres 22 perches more or less on the surface and sown to the depth of fifty feet below the surface being Allotment 17F of Section A in the Parish of Kinglake County of Evelyn . The building is timber house of 4 rooms, carport and sheds and outbuildings. Valued by sworn valuer Stanway and Flint Pty Ltd at $11,550.00.
The Girl Guides sold the property in 1994.
Ann FF Rylah (on the title as a veterinary surgeon of 15 Victor Ave, Kew) had purchased the 59 acre property in 1951: there were no buildings, only fruit trees from a former orchard (at least one apple tree remains). The property was allotment 17C&D, Section A Kinglake parish and was first purchased in 1928 by Strathewan orchardist, Sydney Horn for 55 pounds.
Ann purchased three timber worker huts from near the Strathewen Post Office and moved them to the property as temporary accommodation, naming the hut amalgamation Panda Hut (named after Ann's dog). Only remnants of the Panda Hut chimney remain but it is pictured as a gabled timber hut located south-west of the house.
The 1967 aerial view shows the house and hut, along with the pine ring in its infancy .
As well as a country retreat, Ann Rylah made Tapestry a venue for a number of Ranger training and camping activities. Many rangers and girl guides camped in Panda Hut as a result during her lifetime.

Ann Flora Flashman was the first woman to enrol in the Sydney University School of Veterinary Science in 1930. She became the fourth woman to qualify and enter the veterinary profession in Australia. Her enrolment is thought to have encouraged other women to train as veterinarians. Ann was educated at the Ascham School for Girls, Sydney, matriculating in 1929: there she was the popular leader of the schoolâs girl guide troop. She was also a keen sportswoman and had developed an interest in journalism.
She enrolled at Sydney University in 1930, where she received the full support of the Faculty staff and pursued her Guiding activities and played intervarsity hockey. Her final year essay on duodenal ulcers in dogs was published in the Australian Veterinary Journal, and she was awarded the STD Symons prize for clinical subjects. Her final year practical work was undertaken at the Berri Experimental Farm and she graduated in 1936. Her graduation was preceded only by those of Belle Reid from the Melbourne Veterinary College in 1906, Margaret Keats from the Melbourne University Veterinary Faculty in 1923 and Pat Littlejohn from the Sydney University Faculty in 1935.
Ann joined the staff of the Lost Dog's Home in North Melbourne as its first paid veterinarian, following the footsteps of Belle Reid who had worked there in an honorary capacity. She also worked for the Lort Smith Animal Hospital in North Melbourne until she set up her own practice at her marital home 15 Victor Street, Kew, as Ann Flashman. She had married Arthur Rylah (1909-1974) in 1937, a former Deputy Premier of Victoria, government leader in the Assembly (Liberal party member), attorney general and Chief Secretary, and later Sir Arthur Rylah KBE 1968, a national political figure and reformer: she was his official partner and hostess in government circles. They had two children and lived at Kew (Athur Rylah's birthplace, son of Walter Rylah), in a large Old English style home that survives today. They separated in 1968- a year before Ann's death. Arthur Rylah retired to his hill station retreat, Laurieton, at Mt Macedon (he is also listed at 34 Range St, Camberwell in WWA 1968) and Ann remained at their 15 Victor Avenue, Kew home and Tapestry (Refer to Costar in ADB V16: 161-2)
She gained the devotion of many animal lovers in Victoria through her tireless devotion to caring for animals and young people. She wrote a column called Pet Talk in the Melbourne Herald under the pseudonym John Wotherspoon, addressing issues such as tail docking, suitable pet ownership and the psychology of dogs and owners. These columns ran well in to the 1960s and were followed by two books: The Australian Pet Book (1962) and The Australian Dog Book (1971).
In her professional life she had brought great credit to the profession, being a skilled diagnostician and small animal practitioner; one who amply met the expectations of Ian Clunies Ross when he had written that there is "no conceivable reason why they (women) may not achieve a distinction equal in all respects to that of their brother members".
As a Girl Guide leader she was captain of the 4th Yarra Company, Division Commissioner, North Eastern Suburbs, Captain of the First Melbourne Cadet Company and District Commissioner, Northcote. From 1962 to 1967 she was Senior Branch Adviser for Victoria in 1968 she held the post of Lieutenant of the 4th South Yarra Company and Training Adviser for Victoria. She wrote (as Ann Rylah), `Australian Adventure. Girl guiding under the Southern Cross' (published in Sydney 1967) as a definitive handbook for Girl guides (136 pages).
Ann was an active member of and contributor to the Victorian Division of the Australian Veterinary Association and was its Vice President when she died from a cerebral haemorrhage on 15 March 1969. Then separated from her husband, Annâs cremation without an inquest caused some controversy, particularly after her husband, Sir Arthur Rylah, remarried in the same year.
The many tributes paid to her included one by Reverend Gordon Brown who described Ann as "One of those people possessed of a driving force which would not let her rest. In her professional and private life she was a dynamo who would not rest until she had accomplished what she set out to do." If one considers that while running a veterinary practice, having a high profile social responsibility and bringing up a family she also devoted much time and care to fostering the Guiding Movement in Victoria, she accomplished a great deal..'

Designed by the young stylist Ercole Spada, who had been hired by Zagato in March 1960, the Appia Sport's lightweight aluminium body made the most of the 1,100cc 60bhp engine, the result being a surprisingly fast car for its size. The short-wheelbase Appia Sport would be built until January 1963.
This rare example was delivered new in Turin, Italy in 1962 finished in the same Burgundy colour it has today. The car stayed in Italy until 1975 when it was exported to New York, USA to new owner Mr Nicholas J Godano. It is believed that the Appia was moved to dry storage in California shortly after arrival and remained there, unused, until 2010 when it was bought by the current Belgian owner. A passionate enthusiast, the owner commissioned HAS to carry out a full professional 'last nut and bolt' restoration, which commenced in 2011 and was only finished in 2014.
After the mammoth task of restoring this beautiful car had been completed, it was registered in 2014 by the current owner, who has enjoyed it to the fullest extent. Since completion the Appia has been entered in various concours d'élégance events, including Masterclass Antwerp where it received a 3rd prize in 2015 and in 2018 won the 'Best Restored Car' class.
Recent works include an overhaul of the Weber Carburettors carried out by VGS in Cologne, Germany in 2018 (invoice on file). Accompanying documentation includes the following:
Belgian registration papers
Numerous restoration photographs
Copy of US Title (New York)
Original 1975 insurance identification card in the name of Nicholas J Godano
Invoices for parts
HAS invoices for work carried out 2013, 2014, 2018
Lancia Appia Zagato book
Photographs from 2010 showing the car in un-restored condition in the USA
The car also comes with an independant valuers condition report confirming it to be in General Condition 1, meaning that it is in excellent/concours condition and very hard to fault. A head-turner at any event, this Appia Sport Zagato is worthy of the closest inspection and is ready to participate in any suitable event.
Squire William (Sonny) Turner was an auctioneer and valuer in Beerwah until 1978 when the business was sold.
The picture above shows the office in 1965, when the ES and A Bank (later to become a Tourist Information Centre) stood next door.
The site where the Real Estate Agency was situated is now the entrance to a modern shopping complex, part of the block which was originally the Turner Family land before being subdivided.
Beerwah Library and Hall, along with Turner Street and Turner Park Village shopping complex now stand within its former boundary.

The Los Angeles–based artist LG Williams / The Estate of LG Williams was included on our Greatest Living Artist 2014 list by Art Critic Terry Stickley, who, at 75, is busy in Sante Fe, NM writing his his next book. Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami submitted five filmmakers, including Steven Spielberg and J. J. Abrams. Tom Sachs first put down the hip-hop and R&B artists Big Boi and Frank Ocean, then crossed them out and replaced them with Gilbert & George and Sarah Sze. Two acclaimed video artists, Doug Aitkin and Douglas Gordon, braved it and included on their lists the contemporary musicians Ariel Pink and Mogwai, respectively. -

A sign on this cottage states: `This Cottage was built on a miner's right around 1876..
Originally the home of the Hill Family it then became for almost half a century the home of the Birch Family.' .
Another sign at the boundary states:.
`Claim posted by G Maver 12/11/84' (1984).
.
The early parish plans show this site in April 1873 as creekside land, with no Crown Allotment (CA) designation, but apparently part of John Hill's grant on the adjoining CA78A (2 acres, now vacant), both on the south side of the Watsons Creek. Adjoining properties were in the names of LL Smith (1879), WS Cheshire (1922) and Timothy Shaw. Hill paid ₤5/7/6d for the land. Application for a License to occupy Crown lands on any goldfield or Lands adjacent there to..
.
John Hill, a shoemaker at Kangaroo Ground, had made an Application under the `Land Act 1869' on 30 October 1873 for 2a 3r 29p. The Application was granted 7 November 1873 but in 1874 after a report by Mounted Constable Walsh on the land. Edmund Harland of South Yarra owned it by 1886 and then Honor Birch purchasd it in 1910, converging the Hill and Birch family ownership history. As`Honor Williams, she was the legal owner by 1939 [ VTO]..
.
Constable Walsh's report describes a `slab house or hut 24'x10' with a bark roof, 2 rooms lined with bark inside, slabs in aprt and Calico part, erected December 1878 in `passable repair'. Hill had been absent from the property for some months working elsewhere but had recently returned. The will of Honor Williams (formerly Birch) shows that the Birch family eventually owned this lot (cited as CA78A,B,C) as well as the adjoining `permissive occupancy' (dated 1/1/1938) of CA79A (this site) that was held as a grazing licence under section 121 of the 1928 act. Throughout the official record, the sites known now as CA79A and CA78A appear to be interchangeable, with CA79A non extant in parish plans [ DSE]. Buildings appear to have been erected on CA79 by the owners of CA78A..
.
The first rate records for Edwin Birch, labourer, were in 1872: he was the owner-occupier of `Land Sutton East Riding St Andrews' with an annual value of ₤8. The same annual value was recorded in 1873 but on this occasion a hut was also included in the description [RB]. This was a `house' by 1877 and the annual value had risen to ₤10 in 1878. This coincides with the police report on the Hill property where the hut was stated as built in 1878. Ten years later Birch's name was crossed out in favour of Walter A Harris (?) and soon Honor Young (Honor Birch by 1893) was the owner-occupier and the annual value greatly increased from ₤10 to ₤30 by 1889: this may coincide with the acquisition of more land (listed as 196 acres by 1903). In the Edwardian-era Edwin Samuel Birch (labourer) was the rated owner-occupier and in 1906 the description was `House & Garden' (stated as on CA78A) [ RB]. .
.
The Probate Inventory for Edwin Samuel Birch reveals the following:.

`â¦Until recently a former Girl Guide Association of Victoria property, Tapestry was originally the country retreat of Ann Rylah (later Lady Rylah). It is located at Strathewen, adjoining the Kinglake National Park. Lady Rylah died in 1969 and bequeathed this property to the Girl Guide Association of Victoria who became the proprietor in 1970 . Probate was granted to Morven Bond, solicitor July 1969.
Her will stated: `I give devise and bequeath my property situate at Strathewen 17C 17D and 17 F of Section 4 in the Parish of Kinglake together with furniture and furnishings therein ⦠to the Girl Guidesâ Association of Victoria of 20 Russell street Melbourne aforesaid for its use by the Ranger Branch.

Her will described Tapestry thus:
`Property known as âtapestry;â off Fraser Road and Bowden Spur Road, Strathewen, Victoria. All that piece of land containing 59 Acres 1 rood and 1 perch of more or less so much and such pars as lie above the depth of fifty feet below the surface being allotments 17C and 17D ⦠and all that piece of land containing 7 acres 22 perches more or less on the surface and sown to the depth of fifty feet below the surface being Allotment 17F of Section A in the Parish of Kinglake County of Evelyn â¦. The building is timber house of 4 rooms, carport and sheds and outbuildings. Valued by sworn valuer Stanway and Flint Pty Ltd at $11,550.00â .
The Girl Guides sold the property in 1994.
Ann FF Rylah (on the title as a veterinary surgeon of 15 Victor Ave, Kew) had purchased the 59 acre property in 1951: there were no buildings, only fruit trees from a former orchard (at least one apple tree remains). The property was allotment 17C&D, Section A Kinglake parish and was first purchased in 1928 by Strathewan orchardist, Sydney Horn for â¤55.
Ann purchased three timber worker huts from near the Strathewen Post Office and moved them to the property as temporary accommodation, naming the hut amalgamation Panda Hut (named after Annâs dog). Only remnants of the Panda Hut chimney remain but it is pictured as a gabled timber hut located south-west of the house.
The 1967 aerial view shows the house and hut, along with the pine ring in its infancy .
As well as a country retreat, Ann Rylah made Tapestry a venue for a number of Ranger training and camping activities. Many rangers and girl guides camped in Panda Hut as a result during her lifetime.

(largely derived from Robin Giesecke Ann Flashman BVSc October 2002)
Ann Flora Flashman was the first woman to enrol in the Sydney University School of Veterinary Science in 1930. She became the fourth woman to qualify and enter the veterinary profession in Australia. Her enrolment is thought to have encouraged other women to train as veterinarians. Ann was educated at the Ascham School for Girls, Sydney, matriculating in 1929: there she was the popular leader of the schoolâs girl guide troop. She was also a keen sportswoman and had developed an interest in journalism.
She enrolled at Sydney University in 1930, where she received the full support of the Faculty staff and pursued her Guiding activities and played intervarsity hockey. Her final year essay on duodenal ulcers in dogs was published in the Australian Veterinary Journal, and she was awarded the STD Symons prize for clinical subjects. Her final year practical work was undertaken at the Berri Experimental Farm and she graduated in 1936. Her graduation was preceded only by those of Belle Reid from the Melbourne Veterinary College in 1906, Margaret Keats from the Melbourne University Veterinary Faculty in 1923 and Pat Littlejohn from the Sydney University Faculty in 1935.
Ann joined the staff of the Lost Dog's Home in North Melbourne as its first paid veterinarian, following the footsteps of Belle Reid who had worked there in an honorary capacity. She also worked for the Lort Smith Animal Hospital in North Melbourne until she set up her own practice at her marital home 15 Victor Street, Kew, as Ann Flashman. She had married Arthur Rylah (1909-1974) in 1937, a former Deputy Premier of Victoria, government leader in the Assembly (Liberal party member), attorney general and Chief Secretary, and later Sir Arthur Rylah KBE 1968, a national political figure and reformer: she was his official partner and hostess in government circles. They had two children and lived at Kew (Athur Rylahâs birthplace, son of Walter Rylah), in a large Old English style home that survives today. They separated in 1968- a year before Annâs death. Arthur Rylah retired to his hill station retreat, Laurieton, at Mt Macedon (he is also listed at 34 Range St, Camberwell in WWA 1968) and Ann remained at their 15 Victor Avenue, Kew home and Tapestry (Refer to Costar in ADB V16: 161-2)
She gained the devotion of many animal lovers in Victoria through her tireless devotion to caring for animals and young people. She wrote a column called Pet Talk in the Melbourne Herald under the pseudonym John Wotherspoon, addressing issues such as tail docking, suitable pet ownership and the psychology of dogs and owners. These columns ran well in to the 1960s and were followed by two books: The Australian Pet Book (1962) and The Australian Dog Book (1971).
In her professional life she had brought great credit to the profession, being a skilled diagnostician and small animal practitioner; one who amply met the expectations of Ian Clunies Ross when he had written that there is "no conceivable reason why they (women) may not achieve a distinction equal in all respects to that of their brother members".
As a Girl Guide leader she was captain of the 4th Yarra Company, Division Commissioner, North Eastern Suburbs, Captain of the First Melbourne Cadet Company and District Commissioner, Northcote. From 1962 to 1967 she was Senior Branch Adviser for Victoria in 1968 she held the post of Lieutenant of the 4th South Yarra Company and Training Adviser for Victoria. She wrote (as Ann Rylah), `Australian Adventure. Girl guiding under the Southern Cross' (published in Sydney 1967) as a definitive handbook for Girl guides (136 pages).
Ann was an active member of and contributor to the Victorian Division of the Australian Veterinary Association and was its Vice President when she died from a cerebral haemorrhage on 15 March 1969. Then separated from her husband, Annâs cremation without an inquest caused some controversy, particularly after her husband, Sir Arthur Rylah, remarried in the same year.
The many tributes paid to her included one by Reverend Gordon Brown who described Ann as "One of those people possessed of a driving force which would not let her rest. In her professional and private life she was a dynamo who would not rest until she had accomplished what she set out to do." If one considers that while running a veterinary practice, having a high profile social responsibility and bringing up a family she also devoted much time and care to fostering the Guiding Movement in Victoria, she accomplished a great deal..'

Only Known Painting of Lucrezia Borgia Discovered in Australian Gallery
by Anne Barrowclough in Sydney
A mysterious Renaissance portrait that has hung in an Australian art gallery for 43 years has been identified as potentially the only painting in existence of the infamous femme fatale Lucrezia Borgia.
Over four decades after the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) took possession of the oval painting, entitled Portrait of a Youth by an unknown artist, the gallery's director revealed the painting today as a work by the Renaissace artist Dosso Dossi.
"What was previously a portrait of an unknown sitter by an unidentified artist now seems likely to be one of the most significant portraits surviving from the Renaissance, by one of the great Northern Italian painters", said Gerard Vaughan.
He said the portrait could be worth "many millions."
"Dosso Dossi is a very important painter but not known to the general public so it's an important discovery for the art world but the really important thing for the general public is that we have the only known portrait of the most famous and notorious woman in Renaissance history," he said.
Bought by the NGV in 1965, the oval painting mystified experts who always believed it to be of a young male.
But two years of scientific analysis and art history research in Italy, Australia and the US, carried out by the gallery's curator Carl Villis led him to conclude that it could only be of Lucrezia Borgia, painted by Giovanni di Niccolo de Luteri, better known as Dosso Dossi, a contemporary of Titian, Raphael and Michelangelo.
Lucrezia Borgia was the Duchess of Ferrara from 1502 - 1519 but as the illegitimate daughter of the murderous Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, her name, as with all the Borgias, became synonymous with villainy.
Mr Villis said at first he thought it was "preposterous" that the subject of the painting could be Lucrezia Borgia. "It was the last thing I expected when I started out on the whole process," he told The Times.
Analysis of the painting's pigments indicated that it was most probably painted by Dossi, he said. The clues to the subject of the portrait lay in the detail of the painting. The myrtle bush, highly symbolic in Renaissance painting, refers to the goddess Venus which indicated the figure was a woman, not a man as originally thought. An inscripton at the bottom of the portrait refers to virtue and beauty, another code for the female identity of the sitter.
The dagger held by the figure, although unheard of in Renaissance portraits of women, symbolised the Roman heroine Lucrezia, renowned for plunging a dagger into her chest after being raped by the son of the King of Rome.
While these were interesting but circumstantial pieces of evidence, Mr Villis said one of the deciding factors was the similarity between the portrait and a bronze portrait medal of Lucrezia Borgia, made in 1502 and which remains the only reliable likeness of her features.
"It has been very exciting to unlock the secrets of this beautiful and enigmatic painting, which now has unique standing in view of the fame of its sitter and the strength of the artist," "When you align the details side by side, the facial features are very similar," he said.
David Hulme, a Sydney art expert and valuer, decribed the find as "exciting and extraordinary."
"It's probably worth millions," he said. The last work of Dossi's sold in London in 1999 for £900,000.
There are other portraits which have been said to be of Lucrezia Borgia, but none have been accepted by scholars.
A year ago, the NGV was hugely embarrassed after it was revealed that it had wrongly attributed a painting by an unknown Dutch painter to Vincent Van Gogh.
While this portrait has not been authenticated by other art scholars, Mr Villis said he "has not met anyone who disagreed" with with his discovery. "We are putting it out there so people can consider the ideas behind it," he said.

The early parish plans show this site in April 1873 as creekside land, with no Crown Allotment (CA) designation, but apparently part of John Hill's grant on the adjoining CA78A (2 acres, now vacant), both on the south side of the Watsons Creek. Adjoining properties were in the names of LL Smith (1879), WS Cheshire (1922) and Timothy Shaw. Hill paid ₤5/7/6d for the land.

John Hill, a shoemaker at Kangaroo Ground, had made an Application under the `Land Act 1869' on 30 October 1873 for 2a 3r 29p. The Application was granted 7 November 1873 but in 1874 after a report by Mounted Constable Walsh on the land. Edmund Harland of South Yarra owned it by 1886 and then Honor Birch purchasd it in 1910, converging the Hill and Birch family ownership history. As`Honor Williams, she was the legal owner by 1939 [ VTO]..
.
Constable Walsh's report describes a `slab house or hut 24'x10' with a bark roof, 2 rooms lined with bark inside, slabs in aprt and Calico part, erected December 1878 in `passable repair'. Hill had been absent from the property for some months working elsewhere but had recently returned. The will of Honor Williams (formerly Birch) shows that the Birch family eventually owned this lot (cited as CA78A,B,C) as well as the adjoining `permissive occupancy' (dated 1/1/1938) of CA79A (this site) that was held as a grazing licence under section 121 of the 1928 act. Throughout the official record, the sites known now as CA79A and CA78A appear to be interchangeable, with CA79A non extant in parish plans [ DSE]. Buildings appear to have been erected on CA79 by the owners of CA78A..

The first rate records for Edwin Birch, labourer, were in 1872: he was the owner-occupier of `Land Sutton East Riding St Andrews' with an annual value of ₤8. The same annual value was recorded in 1873 but on this occasion a hut was also included in the description [RB]. This was a `house' by 1877 and the annual value had risen to ₤10 in 1878. This coincides with the police report on the Hill property where the hut was stated as built in 1878. Ten years later Birch's name was crossed out in favour of Walter A Harris (?) and soon Honor Young (Honor Birch by 1893) was the owner-occupier and the annual value greatly increased from ₤10 to ₤30 by 1889: this may coincide with the acquisition of more land (listed as 196 acres by 1903). In the Edwardian-era Edwin Samuel Birch (labourer) was the rated owner-occupier and in 1906 the description was `House & Garden' (stated as on CA78A) [ RB]. .

The 10th Yorkshire were involved in the First Battle of the Scarpe, 9th-14th April 1917, which was part of the wider Battle of Arras. After initial success, the hoped for break-through failed to materialise, combined with a break in the weather and the Battle petered out. Pehaps Corporal Leggett died as a result of wounds received during the preceding days.

The Cemetery where Corporal Leggett was buried does indeed seem to have been mainly used by Casualty Clearing Stations and Field Ambulances.

Etricourt was occupied by Commonwealth troops at the beginning of April 1917 during the German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line. It was lost on the 23 March 1918 when the Germans advanced, but regained at the beginning of September. The cemetery was begun in 1917 and used until March 1918, mainly by the 21st and 48th Casualty Clearing Stations posted at Ytres, and to a small extent by the Germans, who knew it as "Etricourt Old English Cemetery"

The Battle of Pilkem, 31 July - 2 August 1917
30th Division, with 53rd Brigade of 18th (Eastern) Division in support, attacked through Sanctuary Wood in the direction of Stirling Castle. 21st Brigade was unable to leave its assembly position on time due to heavy German shellfire and without protection of its own protective barrage became mixed up in the tangle of the wood as they approached Jar Row trench. Some men of the 18th King's veered off left and got mixed up with other units on the Menin road at Clapham Junction. 90th Brigade also lost direction and 2nd Royal Scots Fusiliers signalled that they had taken Glencorse Wood, but in fact had only reached Chateau Wood. 53rd Brigade, whose job was to take the advance on from Glencorse Wood, were surprised to find the wood in enemy hands. Despite being reinforced by five tanks, the brigade was held up by heavy fire.

The only Gerald Morse listed on the 1901 Census was 5 years old, had been born in Middlesex and now resided at 80 Goldington Avenue, Bedford. However, a high-level search of the 1911 Census confirms that while that individual is still residing in Bedford, (and is a Gerald Frank), there is a Gerald Ernest age 13, living in Norwich. However, another look at the 1901 Census doesn’t throw up any likely members of the Morse family with any connection by birth or residence with the West side of Norwich.

The Battalion had been in the Somme region since summer, 1915. During this time they were to become familiar with the routine of life in the trenches. As with other front line units, they spent time in and out of the lines, experiencing both the dull and unpleasant realities of trench warfare and the occasional action in the form of raiding parties, etc.
(Although this was written about another Battalion in the same Brigade, I’m sure that it applies equally to the 8th Norfolks)

She sank two and a half minutes after the torpedo struck her.Of the 1,400 men she carried only 600 were saved,and the drowned included all but 18 of the 300 Norfolk men. The men who had had a route march just before leaving Alexandria, were waiting on deck for foot inspection at about 9.20 am. Their lifebelts were down below, and when the ship was unexpectedly struck most of them ran below to fetch the belts. Owing to the ship's sudden heeling over and sinking, these never got up again. Those who escaped were picked up by a hospital ship which responded to the s.o.s. signal. To partly replace this sad loss, another draft of 150 men to the Essex Regiment was dispatched on September 29, 1915.
Addenda 1994 From: "Men of Gallipoli"(David & Charles,1988) by kind permission of the publishers. One of the features of the Cape Helles monument is the rows of names of men drowned in the torpedoing of the Royal Edward,which sank in the Eastern Mediterranean on 13th August with a loss of over 850 lives. .A.T.Fraser in the Border Regiment,was in a deckchair on the afterdeck starboard side when suddenly dozens of men ran past him from port to starboard. The explosion came before he had time to ask what was the matter."The ship had no escort and we had not been ordered to have our life-belts with us. The hundreds on deck ran below to get their life-belts and hundreds below would have met them on their way up. I shared a cabin accessible from the deck I was on and I raced there to get my life-belt and ran to my life-boat station which was on the star- board side. As the men arrived they fell in two ranks. Already the ship was listing and this prevented our boats from being lowered, so we were ordered to jump for it. I saw no panic, but of course one could imagine what was happening on the inside stairs. I swam away from the ship and turned to see the funnels leaning towards me.When they reached the sea,all the soot was belched out,there was a loud whoosh and the ship sank. No explosion,no surge.
So I was alone.The little waves were such that in the trough you saw nothing,
on the crest you saw a few yards.The water was warm. I wondered if there were sharks". Fraser found some wood to rest on and he was joined by a seaman, an older man who had twice previously been torpedoed. This brought the young Scot confidence. An up turned Royal Edward lifeboat was to provide 17 of the survivors with a little more security though in what Fraser calls half-hourly recurring turbulence, the boat turned over, offering them conventional but completely waterlogged accommodation every alternate half hour but at least providing them with something to do. There was no singing and little conversation. The first ship that passed hailed the scattered men and promised to signal for help.It could not stop as it had high explosives for Lemnos. Some of the men became depressed and showed unwillingness to clamber back in the life boat when it overturned,but on each occasion all were persuaded. Finally the hospital ship SOUDAIN arrived to pick them up in her life-boats,and at 2 o'clock Fraser was safely aboard her after just under five hours in the sea. He remembers that"a large number of men lost their false teeth as we were constantly sick in the sea- and these men were sent back to England. We the younger ones,were clothed and kitted and on another ship three days later for Gallipoli

No match on Norlink
The 1901 Census has a Robert Charles Partridge listed as an 18 year old Officer Cadet at Sandhurst. While there are other Robert’s of approximately the right age, given the date of death and the unit, it must be a very strong likelihood that the Sandhurst cadet is the one we are looking for. His place of birth is given as Shimpling, Suffolk.
There is no exact match on the 1891 Census, but an 8 year old Robert C, born Suffolk, is staying with his Aunt at 7 Newmarket Road, Norwich along with his brother Anthony F, aged 18. The Aunt’s name unfortunately is totally indecipherable, but she is described as being of independent means and was born at Islington, London. Again her age is difficult to read from the scanned document - best guess is 43.
The BEF took part in the First battle of the Marne, (8th September - 10th September) in which the French Army took the offensive and defeated the German thrust towards Paris. The BEF was used to split the 1st and 2nd German Armies, with the cavalry being used to probe the gap that had opened between the opponents formations.

Designed by the young stylist Ercole Spada, who had been hired by Zagato in March 1960, the Appia Sport's lightweight aluminium body made the most of the 1,100cc 60bhp engine, the result being a surprisingly fast car for its size. The short-wheelbase Appia Sport would be built until January 1963.
This rare example was delivered new in Turin, Italy in 1962 finished in the same Burgundy colour it has today. The car stayed in Italy until 1975 when it was exported to New York, USA to new owner Mr Nicholas J Godano. It is believed that the Appia was moved to dry storage in California shortly after arrival and remained there, unused, until 2010 when it was bought by the current Belgian owner. A passionate enthusiast, the owner commissioned HAS to carry out a full professional 'last nut and bolt' restoration, which commenced in 2011 and was only finished in 2014.
After the mammoth task of restoring this beautiful car had been completed, it was registered in 2014 by the current owner, who has enjoyed it to the fullest extent. Since completion the Appia has been entered in various concours d'élégance events, including Masterclass Antwerp where it received a 3rd prize in 2015 and in 2018 won the 'Best Restored Car' class.
Recent works include an overhaul of the Weber Carburettors carried out by VGS in Cologne, Germany in 2018 (invoice on file). Accompanying documentation includes the following:
Belgian registration papers
Numerous restoration photographs
Copy of US Title (New York)
Original 1975 insurance identification card in the name of Nicholas J Godano
Invoices for parts
HAS invoices for work carried out 2013, 2014, 2018
Lancia Appia Zagato book
Photographs from 2010 showing the car in un-restored condition in the USA
The car also comes with an independant valuers condition report confirming it to be in General Condition 1, meaning that it is in excellent/concours condition and very hard to fault. A head-turner at any event, this Appia Sport Zagato is worthy of the closest inspection and is ready to participate in any suitable event.

The woolbroking firm, Winchcombe, Carson & Co, was a stock and station agent; wool broking firm founded in March 1889 by Frederick Earle Winchcombe, Duncan Carson, C L Wallis, and E J Turton. In September 1899 the firm was incorporated in New South Wales as Winchcombe, Carson & Co Ltd and changed its name to Winchcombe, Carson Ltd in 1910. The company was taken over by Industrial Equity Limited on the 27th of February 1980.
According to documents from Trove (trove.nla.gov.au) on the 13th of Dec 1929, the Longreach Leader newspaper reported:
WINCHCOMBE, CARSON, LTD., LONGREACH.
SERVICE IS THEIR WATCHWORD.
The association of the Longreach Branch of Winchcombe, Carson, Ltd., with this district is certainly an example of a quick rise to respect and popularity. The office since its inception has been under the management of Mr. G. A. Taunton. Its rapid advance in turnover and its reputation for efficient attention is akin to the firm's record elsewhere.
Evidently the addresser of the envelope reproduced below was fully aware of Winchcombe, Carson's high position in the business life of the district.
The Postal Authorities were apparently similarly educated for they delivered the letter to Winchcombe, Carson, Ltd., Longreach.
The rise of Winchcombe, Carson, Ltd. As Wool Selling Brokers, Stock and' Station. Agents and Machinery Merchants is a fascinating study of the results achieved by human industry.
Frederick Earle Winchcombe, Duncan Carson, Charles Leicester Wallis and Edward James Turton were the young men who laid the foundation of the Company's organisation. Those men, with the exception of Duncan Carson all served their apprenticeship In the old firm of Mort and Co., Sydney. Duncan Carson was a young sheep and wool expert, who himself was full of energy, had a little money and was ripe for adventure. The combined resources of the four were adjudged sufficient with which to get afloat. A small store on Circular Quay, Sydney, was obtained at a peppercorn rental from a sympathetic wool dumper, and on the first day of March, 1889, the new business was quietly inaugurated. The partners took off their coats and did their own work in every department. They had rebuffs, difficulties and trials to overcome, but industry, with patience and business capacity proved equal to all obstacles. The number 13 is popularly regarded as unlucky; In Winchcombe, Carson's 13th year, however, they topped the list of sales on the Sydney market and almost consistently, year after year, have done so since.
QUEENSLAND HISTORY
The Company's history in Queensland dates from the year 1909, when a small branch office was opened in Brisbane. Plans were subsequently drawn up for the erection of a wool store at Bulimba which was completed in 1911. The building was an eye-opener in wool warehouse construction. Its show floor provided facilities for the display of woof under natural light which were acknowledged as far superior to anything previously achieved in the world's wool trade.
Winchcombe, Carson have become one of the best known and most esteemed firms in the Queensland pastoral world with a constantly extending list of clients. Their activities include the sale of wool, stock, butchers' and station produce, station properties and shearing and other pastoral machinery. They have well' established branch offices In Hughenden, Charleville, and Dalby, in addition to Longreach. The same good work which made the firm successful in its early days still obtains. One of the original partners (Mr. Duncan Carson) is still Chairman of Directors. Mr. Harold Bell, who has been associated with the firm since its inception is General Manager. Mr. W. Douglas Wharton, well known as the owner of Crendon Station, Maxwelton, is assistant General Manager. The Board of Directors in addition to Messrs. Carson, Bell, and Wharton, includes Mr. J. F. Bowden, Mr. G. N. Magill and Mr. Kenneth E. Winchcombe. Mr. Winchcombe isa son of the late Hon. F. E. Winchcombe. Mr. T. W. Mountain is the firm's Brisbane Manager.
Forty years ago when the four ambitious young men launched out in the wool selling arena, their thoughts probably never carried the idea that their enterprise would develop Into Winchcombe, Carson's huge organisation of today. Such results in Australian commercial life should certainly be an inspiration to the young men of the community. Naturally, the business was started for the purpose of earning a living for its promoters. But rapacious monetary gain has never been the firm's goal. Service has been the watchword and adherence to that object has, in turn, produced the expanding business seen.
Frederick Earle Winchcombe (1855 - 1917):
Frederick Earle Winchcombe, woolbroker and politician, was born on 26 April 1855 at Brunswick, Melbourne, second son of John Phillimore Winchcombe, a quarryman from Wales, and his English wife Julia Sophia, née Earle. In the 1860s the family moved to the Young and Yass districts of New South Wales. Educated at Christ Church St Laurence School, Sydney, Frederick joined the woolbroking firm of Mort & Co. and gradually became a wool expert and auctioneer. In his youth he played cricket for South Sydney club. At Christ Church St Laurence he married Annie Amelia Henson (d.1952) on 25 September 1878.
After Mort's firm amalgamated with R. Goldsbrough & Co. Ltd, Winchcombe resigned in 1888 and next year joined Duncan Carson, C. L. Wallis and E. J. Turton to form Winchcombe, Carson & Co., woolbrokers, stock and station agents; he was its chairman. In September 1899 the firm was incorporated with a nominal capital of £150,000. Winchcombe, Carson & Co. Ltd became Winchcombe, Carson Ltd in 1910. Its large woolstores in Wattle Street, Pyrmont, begun in 1893-94, made effective use of the local terrain for easy handling; Winchcombe, Carson's turnaround of 86,000 bales in 1905 was claimed as an Australasian record; it soon became one of the best-known pastoral firms in eastern Australia with over thirty branches in New South Wales and twenty-five in Queensland.
A lean man of middle height whose close-cut hair emphasized the triangular shape of his face, Winchcombe was prominent in the public and business world of Sydney. He was a commissioner for the 1893 Chicago exhibition, an executive member of the Patriotic Fund for the South African War and an active vice-president of the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales. Three times president of the Sydney Chamber of Commerce (1907-08, 1909-10, 1914-15), he was a director of the Australian Mutual Provident Society, Atlas Assurance Co. Ltd and James Martin & Co. Ltd, and chairman of Ruthven Ltd, a Queensland pastoral company.
Winchcombe represented Ashfield in the Legislative Assembly from November 1900, but resigned in August 1905 due to business pressures. On his return from Europe, he was nominated to the Legislative Council on 24 September 1907 and was a member of the Board of Health (1907-10). In parliament he generally adopted a conservative stance on industrial and rural issues, but he agreed in principle with women's franchise, closer settlement and the eight-hour day, and supported the wages board system for dealing with industrial disputes. He strongly opposed the fair rents bill (1913) and the Workmen's Compensation Act (1916), arguing instead for a 'national insurance scheme' to which employees would contribute.
A councillor of the Liberal and Reform (later National) Association, Winchcombe outlined his political views in a series of articles in the Brisbane Monthly Record which were republished under the title As it Strikes Me (1916). Maintaining that there were no 'classes' in Australia, he attacked labour's 'go slow policy' and the tactics of the Industrial Workers of the World; he praised the qualities of the Australian bushman and advocated better worker and technical education, 'bonus-giving' and easier access to the land; he urged employers to study workers' literature and to look at industrial questions from the workers' point of view.
A sincere Christian, Winchcombe was a parishioner of St Mark's, Darling Point, and a member of the Christ Church Improvement Association. Although neither 'a temperance reformer nor a total abstainer', he favoured early closing in 1915 as a necessary act of self-denial during 'the stress of a great and serious war'. He organized the Chamber of Commerce War Food fund, helped to establish the State Wool Committee, and was a foundation member of the Universal Service League, trustee of the Regimental Comforts Fund and vice-president of the Soldiers' Club.
In 1917 he went to England to visit his two sons on active service with the Australian Imperial Force. On his way back to Australia, the Mongolia struck a mine and sank in the Indian Ocean: Winchcombe was among those rescued, but died of pneumonia on 29 June 1917 in the military hospital at Bombay and was buried in Sewri cemetery. He left an estate valued at £56 109. His wife, two of their four sons and two daughters survived him. His youngest son Kenneth joined the firm in 1907, becoming a director in 1926; his daughter Edyth married (Sir) Thomas Bavin.
Duncan Carson (1860 - 1931):
Duncan Carson, woolbroker and pastoralist, was born on 8 November 1860 at Clutha, Kew, Victoria, youngest son of John Carson (d.1902) of Glasgow and his wife Elizabeth, née Duncan, who had both arrived in Melbourne in the Robert Benn in 1842. Educated at Scotch College, Melbourne, he went in 1876 with his family to Britain via the United States of America and the Philadelphia International Exhibition. His father, a prominent Melbourne horticulturist, set him to study horticulture and botany under Sir Joseph Hooker until November 1878 when the family returned to Melbourne. In 1879 he went as a botanist on the brief Pacific cruise of H.M.S. Wolverine. After a short period in the office of William Sloane & Co. in Sydney, Carson turned his attention to wool. With an introduction from A. van Rompaey, he went to Europe in March 1881 to study the trade, mostly at Verviers, Belgium, but also at Bradford, England, and in France.
On his return to Australia, Carson acted as buyer and valuer for his brother William during the wool season and spent the rest of the year acquiring station experience, sometimes on his father's property, Goangra, Walgett, acquired in 1883. His practical experience in the industry was wide: long droving-trips in New South Wales and Queensland, sheep-classing in the Riverina and Victoria, and sheep-judging at many country shows. In 1888 he started a commission agency in Brisbane in partnership with J. H. Geddes, but soon sold out. After acting as wool expert for J. H. Geddes & Co. in Sydney, he joined a partnership with F. E. Winchcombe, C. L. Wallis and E. J. Turton in March 1889 to found the woolbrokers, Winchcombe & Co. [Ltd]. In 1899 the firm (styled Winchcombe Carson Ltd from 1910) was incorporated in New South Wales. Carson's wide and expert knowledge of the trade soon made it one of the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere. In 1917 he became its chairman and succeeded Winchcombe on the State Wool Committee, helping to direct the British-Australian wartime wool purchase scheme.
Carson was a director of the Australian Bank of Commerce and the New South Wales Land and Agency Co. Ltd. At first in partnership with Alfred Brown, he owned Bomera station on the Liverpool Plains and was chairman of the Rockwood Pastoral Co. in Queensland. Associated with almost every movement to benefit the pastoral industry, he was a council-member of the Sydney Chamber of Commerce, the Graziers' Association and the Royal Agricultural Society, acting president of the New South Wales Sheepbreeders' Association and an active worker for the Sydney Sheep Show. He took a keen interest in pasture improvement and maintained his early interest in botany and horticulture. A member of the local Linnean Society from 1890, he accompanied a German botanist on an expedition to North Queensland in 1900, hybridized the early flowering peach known originally as 'Carson's Peach', and had one of the finest collections of orchids in Australia. He also travelled widely to Japan, China, the East Indies and South America, as well as Africa where he shot big game.
Rather short and stocky, friendly and generous, Carson devoted the same energy and enthusiasm to all his interests whether business, family, or the activities of the Highland Society of New South Wales of which he was president from 1923. On 10 June 1891 at Randwick he had married Constance Haidee (d.1932), daughter of Robert Richards of Sydney; they formally separated in 1925. He was extremely fond of children. Three sons served in World War I, and the loss at Gallipoli of Ronald, who had also learned the trade in Belgium, was a great blow.
Survived by his wife, four sons and three daughters, Carson died of cerebro-vascular disease on 6 January 1931 at his residence Weeroona, Wahroonga, and was cremated after a Presbyterian service. Two sons settled on the land, another joined the firm, and a daughter Haidee Margaret married the eminent physician and surgeon (Sir) Norman Gregg. Probate of his estate was sworn at £67,979.
Longreach, Queensland:
Longreach, Queensland, is 620km west of Rockhampton, at the junction of the Capricorn and Landsborough Highways. The Aramac Creek flows southwards, joining the Thomson River which runs generally south-west through the Longreach district.
The Longreach district was explored by the New South Wales Surveyor-General, Thomas Mitchell (1846) and by Edmund Kennedy (1847). The pastoralist-explorer William Landsborough reported favourably on the district's pastoral prospects, and in 1863 the first pastoral lease was taken up by the vast Bowen Downs station. Several others followed soon afterwards. The district's centre was Aramac (c1869), and it was governed by the Aramac local-government division (1879).
Railway Boom:
Considerable optimism surrounded the new settlement: town lots were auctioned and sold briskly, and by 1890 there were three hotels, several stores and tradespeople, a progress association and a police station. The opening of the railway line in 1892 spurred further development, and thrust Longreach into the industrial upheaval of the age; whereas the 1891 shearer's strike had been based at Barcaldine, the 1894 strike was called at the new railway terminus, Longreach.
The town grew with astounding rapidity. By 1896 there were fourteen hotels, a hospital (1893), Catholic, Methodist and Anglican churches, a school of the arts, a pastoral and agricultural society and several clubs and friendly societies. From a population of about 150 in 1891, Longreach was approaching 2000 in 1903.
The progress association soon expressed criticism about the Aramac local-government division's neglect of the Longreach district. Aramac agreed, and the Longreach division was severed in 1900.
Apart from Longreach's role as a railhead and district centre, it also became the centre of an area subdivided for closer-settlement farms during the 1890s. Many blocks were too small, however, and the 1902 drought proved a substantial setback. Amalgamation of blocks and the successful drilling for bore water after the drought aided recovery.
Industrial Progress:
Longreach was usually quick to embrace new technology. Motor car hire and repair businesses were opened – the Longreach Motor Co (1910) and Edwards, Martin Ltd (1910) were major businesses in both repair and body-building for vehicles. In 1919 two young airmen, P.J. McGinness and Hudson Fysh visited Longreach while surveying the Darwin to Longreach section of a proposed England-Australia air route. The men later began Qantas outback airlines at Longreach and established a large plane assembly factory. With both a railway terminus and a pioneer air service, Longreach had some claim to being a 'Chicago of the West'. The railway advantage, however, subsided when the line was extended to Winton in 1927.
In 1921 an electricity powerhouse began operation and a rudimentary swimming pool opened. Reticulated water supply was laid on from the river in 1938, replacing the mineralised bore water and enabling trees to grace the city's parks. Despite the progress, Longreach remained a goat town for another two decades, with local herds essential as a reliable fresh milk supply. Fresh vegetables were also a problem, with grasshoppers damaging local crops and the railways sometimes failing to keep up supplies.
Postwar Tribulations:
The 1920s were relatively prosperous, as were the 1950s (apart from some dry years and a shearers' strike). Much of the commercial building stock was replaced, including the shire hall (the previous two, along with local hotels and the Catholic church had burnt down). A State high school and an Olympic pool were opened in 1966 and 1967. Within a few years wool prices declined, and an investment in beef cattle was met with a decline in meat prices. The town's population, which had stayed steady during 1933-47 when other outback towns had fallen by a quarter, faltered badly during the 20 years from 1961-81 falling from 3800 to fewer than 3000. Fortunately improved roads and transport, which had solved the milk and vegetable supply problem, brought outback tourism. Sensing the tourist opportunity, Sir James Walker, Shire Chair (1957-90), chair of regional electricity supply authorities and of the Longreach Pastoral College garnered national support for the Stockman's Hall of Fame, which opened in 1988 on land provided by the Pastoral College. The Qantas Founders Museum, abutting the original heritage-listed Qantas hanger at the Longreach aerodrome, and a museum based in the old powerhouse (also heritage-listed) are other attractions, particularly popular with 'grey nomads'.
In addition to the attractions and facilities already mentioned, Longreach has a racecourse, showground, a Catholic primary school (1985), a school of distance education, a base hospital (1944), aerodrome, a visitor information centre, an Olympic swimming pool, five churches, several hotels and motels and aged persons' accommodation. The elaborate railway station (1916, similar to the Emerald station) and the goods shed (1892) are listed on the Queensland heritage register.

`â¦Until recently a former Girl Guide Association of Victoria property, Tapestry was originally the country retreat of Ann Rylah (later Lady Rylah). It is located at Strathewen, adjoining the Kinglake National Park. Lady Rylah died in 1969 and bequeathed this property to the Girl Guide Association of Victoria who became the proprietor in 1970 . Probate was granted to Morven Bond, solicitor July 1969.
Her will stated: `I give devise and bequeath my property situate at Strathewen 17C 17D and 17 F of Section 4 in the Parish of Kinglake together with furniture and furnishings therein ⦠to the Girl Guidesâ Association of Victoria of 20 Russell street Melbourne aforesaid for its use by the Ranger Branch. If the said Association shall not accept the said property furniture and furnishings them my trustee shall hold the same for my daughter UPON TRUST ANNABEL JANE BROWNELL absolutely.â Ann also bequeathed her house at Kew to her daughter my property (15 Victor Avenue Kew) â¦`together with all the contents therefore owned by me which are not otherwise specifically bequeathed by this will and together with the goodwill of the Veterinary practice carried by me at 15 Victor Avenue Kew aforesaidâ.
Her will described Tapestry thus:
`Property known as âtapestry;â off Fraser Road and Bowden Spur Road, Strathewen, Victoria. All that piece of land containing 59 Acres 1 rood and 1 perch of more or less so much and such pars as lie above the depth of fifty feet below the surface being allotments 17C and 17D ⦠and all that piece of land containing 7 acres 22 perches more or less on the surface and sown to the depth of fifty feet below the surface being Allotment 17F of Section A in the Parish of Kinglake County of Evelyn â¦. The building is timber house of 4 rooms, carport and sheds and outbuildings. Valued by sworn valuer Stanway and Flint Pty Ltd at $11,550.00â .
The Girl Guides sold the property in 1994.
Ann FF Rylah (on the title as a veterinary surgeon of 15 Victor Ave, Kew) had purchased the 59 acre property in 1951: there were no buildings, only fruit trees from a former orchard (at least one apple tree remains). The property was allotment 17C&D, Section A Kinglake parish and was first purchased in 1928 by Strathewan orchardist, Sydney Horn for â¤55.
Ann purchased three timber worker huts from near the Strathewen Post Office and moved them to the property as temporary accommodation, naming the hut amalgamation Panda Hut (named after Annâs dog). Only remnants of the Panda Hut chimney remain but it is pictured as a gabled timber hut located south-west of the house.
The 1967 aerial view shows the house and hut, along with the pine ring in its infancy .
As well as a country retreat, Ann Rylah made Tapestry a venue for a number of Ranger training and camping activities. Many rangers and girl guides camped in Panda Hut as a result during her lifetime.
Ann Flashman BVSc, later Ann Rylah, later Lady Ann Rylah
(largely derived from Robin Giesecke Ann Flashman BVSc October 2002)
Ann Flora Flashman was the first woman to enrol in the Sydney University School of Veterinary Science in 1930. She became the fourth woman to qualify and enter the veterinary profession in Australia. Her enrolment is thought to have encouraged other women to train as veterinarians. Ann was educated at the Ascham School for Girls, Sydney, matriculating in 1929: there she was the popular leader of the schoolâs girl guide troop. She was also a keen sportswoman and had developed an interest in journalism.
She enrolled at Sydney University in 1930, where she received the full support of the Faculty staff and pursued her Guiding activities and played intervarsity hockey. Her final year essay on duodenal ulcers in dogs was published in the Australian Veterinary Journal, and she was awarded the STD Symons prize for clinical subjects. Her final year practical work was undertaken at the Berri Experimental Farm and she graduated in 1936. Her graduation was preceded only by those of Belle Reid from the Melbourne Veterinary College in 1906, Margaret Keats from the Melbourne University Veterinary Faculty in 1923 and Pat Littlejohn from the Sydney University Faculty in 1935.
Ann joined the staff of the Lost Dog's Home in North Melbourne as its first paid veterinarian, following the footsteps of Belle Reid who had worked there in an honorary capacity. She also worked for the Lort Smith Animal Hospital in North Melbourne until she set up her own practice at her marital home 15 Victor Street, Kew, as Ann Flashman. She had married Arthur Rylah (1909-1974) in 1937, a former Deputy Premier of Victoria, government leader in the Assembly (Liberal party member), attorney general and Chief Secretary, and later Sir Arthur Rylah KBE 1968, a national political figure and reformer: she was his official partner and hostess in government circles. They had two children and lived at Kew (Athur Rylahâs birthplace, son of Walter Rylah), in a large Old English style home that survives today. They separated in 1968- a year before Annâs death. Arthur Rylah retired to his hill station retreat, Laurieton, at Mt Macedon (he is also listed at 34 Range St, Camberwell in WWA 1968) and Ann remained at their 15 Victor Avenue, Kew home and Tapestry (Refer to Costar in ADB V16: 161-2)
She gained the devotion of many animal lovers in Victoria through her tireless devotion to caring for animals and young people. She wrote a column called Pet Talk in the Melbourne Herald under the pseudonym John Wotherspoon, addressing issues such as tail docking, suitable pet ownership and the psychology of dogs and owners. These columns ran well in to the 1960s and were followed by two books: The Australian Pet Book (1962) and The Australian Dog Book (1971).
In her professional life she had brought great credit to the profession, being a skilled diagnostician and small animal practitioner; one who amply met the expectations of Ian Clunies Ross when he had written that there is "no conceivable reason why they (women) may not achieve a distinction equal in all respects to that of their brother members".
As a Girl Guide leader she was captain of the 4th Yarra Company, Division Commissioner, North Eastern Suburbs, Captain of the First Melbourne Cadet Company and District Commissioner, Northcote. From 1962 to 1967 she was Senior Branch Adviser for Victoria in 1968 she held the post of Lieutenant of the 4th South Yarra Company and Training Adviser for Victoria. She wrote (as Ann Rylah), `Australian Adventure. Girl guiding under the Southern Cross' (published in Sydney 1967) as a definitive handbook for Girl guides (136 pages).
Ann was an active member of and contributor to the Victorian Division of the Australian Veterinary Association and was its Vice President when she died from a cerebral haemorrhage on 15 March 1969. Then separated from her husband, Annâs cremation without an inquest caused some controversy, particularly after her husband, Sir Arthur Rylah, remarried in the same year.
The many tributes paid to her included one by Reverend Gordon Brown who described Ann as "One of those people possessed of a driving force which would not let her rest. In her professional and private life she was a dynamo who would not rest until she had accomplished what she set out to do." If one considers that while running a veterinary practice, having a high profile social responsibility and bringing up a family she also devoted much time and care to fostering the Guiding Movement in Victoria, she accomplished a great deal..'
