Thanks for the interesting facts.  I don't think I've ever known what "right of easement" means and still don't.

Dear do.,

Thanks for your response and query; if you wish me to briefly explain about the easement I refered to, let me know.

.

On reading some of your other responses, I see that your posting is of still photos in quick succession -fancy camera !

Looks very moving.

Cheers.

Yes...I would be interested. Sounds like a legal term.

Why so many user names?

nice; they are going past those victorian buildings; good picture.

.

On closer exam however, the bombsite adjacent makes for a modern incongurity.

Thank you del-boy. I hadn't realised it was a "bomb site". LOL I presume you mean where the Council flats are!

A horse drawn hears comes past my place up Wickham lane quite regularly... sort of a local tradition I guess.

No my camera only takes pictures...so the sound of hooves (and a car passing if you listen carefully) was an after thought.

Yes, I'd already seen the wonderful horse driven hearses pass on several occasions so determined to leave my camera handy next time I heard the clop clop. This time it wasn't a hearse but this golden carriage. I was staying at a 1st floor flat at the time so it was easy just to shoot out of the window.

Cheers.

Dear do.,

That is interesting -the sound is an affect and not the actual sound of the horses in the picture; doesn't you camera have an audio record?

Did you hear the horses comming along the street?

.

A good photo job.

Cheers.

Dear do.,

Thanks for your response; the sign of bombing is the architectural treatment of the end of the Victorian building, that property has right of easement on the property next door -all of which is left is its chimney flues.

.

Bombing was random; some houses were not hit at all and there were repressed envy senarios as a result.

.

Any one with a house standing after the war was already rich by comparison with thoes who were left with a hole.

Cheers.
