Cheeky bugger.

I'll give you the area which is Teignbridge.

**good2bhappy** · 23-02-2009, 10:33 AM

so Dawlish is out then

**jandajoy** · 23-02-2009, 10:34 AM

Yes Dawlish it's not. You could triangulate using Haytor, Chudleigh, Bishopsteignton. Maybe.

Not any more. They were once though, quite well known I believe.

Here's another view which will give you half the answer.

**good2bhappy** · 23-02-2009, 10:47 AM

Nope but it tells you 'What" the building is. The lady, incidentally is my sister in law. She spells her name "Linda", which is a coincidence.

Here we go looking the other way.

That house wasn't built in the 17th century!

**good2bhappy** · 23-02-2009, 10:53 AM

Grade II or Grade I listed building?

Not mine mate, unfortunately.

**Happyman** · 23-02-2009, 12:25 PM

Found the one I was thinking about and it is fekin wrong !

Just to prove it was not a figment of my imagination - see below !

Fyling Old Hall Pigsty

A most incredible pigsty

Information

At Fyling Hall near Whitby there sits a most grand structure, built in 1883 by a Whitby ship owner, Squire John Barry. An homage to classical Greek architecture, one would be forgiven for thinking whoever lived within this fine abode was rolling in it. And you would be right, for this neo-classical triumph, completed in 1883 after two years of arduous work at unknown cost, was designed as a home not for humans, but for pigs.
And, no, I am not telling you porkies.
This magnificient example of the very best of animal architecture is now owned by the Landmark Trust, and is available to rent to intrepid holidaymakers - it even has a full size stone statue of a pig to remind guests of its interesting past.

Amazing.... Blandings Castle, Wodehouse etc. Excentric Brits at their best.

Certainly should have.

Incidentaly my ISP is playing all kinds of silly games today, so apologies if I'm slow with responses.

**good2bhappy** · 23-02-2009, 12:46 PM
