    Holy cow, thats amazing, i love seeing these pics.

    Great info too on the roof, you dont see anything like that here at all, either they are shingled, or steel roof's, thats it, oh or slate tiles to look like a medeteranian house.

    Marley,it's outside but that alley is not linked to the main street....I discovered that the firm I work for fitted it,and two others, 15 years ago after they uncovered the timber frame which had been rendered over:doh:
