Looking for Help from Those in England

[Joan D]

I've mentioned in some other threads that I'm working on a dollhouse version of John's house in Gunter Grove. I have a couple of photos of the outside of the house. The pic below points to some things on the outside & some signs:



Can anyone shed light on what the signs say and/or tell me what the objects are on the outside around the front balcony/french doors? I'ld like the mini Gunter Grove to be as accurate as possible.

If anyone has other photos, that would be great!

Thanks for any input you can provide.

Joan

I'm working on it

In the meantime, you probably already know the property has been sold twice in the last two years! Here's some interior shots and info from the realtor.

Thanks Shonie

The house looks quite different on the inside from when John had it doesn't it!

I know it has been 30 years, but it is still hard to believe that what he says he paid 12,000 pounds for now goes for over a million. Talk about a real estate crisis.

Thanks again,
Joan

I just can't picture John living in all white . I can't wait to see the finished deal Joan when you complete the model!!

That one sign on the right looks like it might have to do with some kind of the divet in the road? But I'm going by pictures so I have no idea. :]

Although I just googled and found this:

www.igg.org.uk/gansg/00-app1/signs.jpg

The very first one looks similar?

Regarding the street signs and the small exterior building fixtures, it would be obviously wise to "street google" or find on the web more close up exterior realtor photo's! But just off the top of my head..... I believe the two small white squares are heating vents! the yellow octogon may be a fire/burgler alarm! the sign on the building is a city sign and says "the royal borough of kensington and chelsea Gunter grove SW10" sign in front of the building is a "parking limit sign" with hours of use, and the bridge looking sign (maybe it is, becuase of Camden lock and the canals are close by) at the side of the building, may even mean "uneven road"! just speculating now and I will check into it more later. I have to go now has my "V" for Vendetta costume has just come in for halloween!!!!

Shonie,

Thanks for the info.

I'm a little afraid to ask about the halloween costume - but hope it fits well. Will little Shonie get to go out as well?

I have a Guy Fawkes mask. I may have worn it to a protest.

Shonie,

Thanks!

I'm guessing "humps" are equivalent to "speed bumps" in the U.S.?

Joan

[shonie]

Yes and I just posted the sign for the front,
