Hello,
I would like to see if anyone in the community could help with this photo.
This old photo of a couple infront of a timbered building, may date from between 1892 & 1900 (based on checks in Kelly’s when the photographers existed).
On the back it states:
Grandma & Great Grandpa Their cottage opposite Warwick Castle wall
Assuming they are my great great grandparents, then, from the census’s and Kelly’s I know that they lived in at least 2 houses in Warwick, but for one, the timbering doesn’t match, and for the other, the house was of all brick construction. Potential surnames include Donnelly, Fryer, Perkins and Robbins.
We would love to think that someone recognises the timberwork and help us identify the actual house and therefore,which generation of relatives they actually are.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Our local expert on Warwick housing at Warwickshire County Record Office thinks it could well be in the back garden of a house on the right-hand side of Mill Street (as you go down towards the river). Thus the castle wall would be at the end of their garden. The front of the house could have been ‘poshed up’ since.
