Broadwood Rd houses above racecourse

At the risk of straining the tolerance of Gwulo viewers, here is a sharper and wider version of the image at http//gwulo.com/media/44574, this time to show the houses on Broadwood Road in 1922 in order to help Aldi's project. I should ideally like to replace the previous photo with this clearer one, but it is beyond my powers. Feel free to add tags.

Nice picture Jill.  You're not straining my tolerance. I think we're certainly looking at 8, 9/10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, as well as 20 and 21.  The first one on the left half way up the hill - is that number 7?

Jill and Aldi,  I posted this morning my comments about the 1946 photo of #8 Broadwood Road.  In my comments, I also included a photo of the Reed family taken on the lawn of the house in 1918.  In this photo, the house at the top right of the photo looks like it might be the house at #9.  If that is the case, then the family photo was actually taken at the Murray house at #7, and not at #8 as I assumed.  I would be interested in your comments.  Unfortunately, I have no photo taken of the #7 house.

Your family in the garden picture 41421 puzzles me angie, because I didn't think people on the ridge had views of house roofs either front or back, apart from the Towers, who looked down on 21.

The house that we've called #7 part way down the hill is not looking on any roofs.

I've done a crop of #7 from Jill's picture at start.  The right half looks to have been destroyed?
