Following on from all the remarkable stuff about Jasmine Cottage, Louise Sedgwick has been back in touch with some family photos she’s found of the house and garden.
The whole subject seems to really have captured the imagination of readers, and the series of articles about it and the other houses at Anglesey Wharf are now up amongst the most read articles in the last year of the is blog.
Who’d have thought when I featured an odd perspective of Anglesey Wharf from a recently purchased book it would have led this far?
Thanks to Louise, and all who contributed. Any other memories or images are most welcome. I visited Anglesey Wharf Last week, and took a shot of where I thought the houses would be now. There’s no trace they ever existed. The image is at the foot of this piece, and just goes to show what’s lost in gradual, incremental change.
This is why I do this stuff.

Anglesey Wharf on a dull Sunday last week. Here once, would have been Wharf Cottages, the old stables, and in the distance, Jasmine Cottage.
