No 139 on the 1912 Map

No. 34 Lugard Road, which is shown as “Westcrag” on maps, is believed to
have been built by its first owner, Fredrick Percy Franklin, between 1933 and
1935. During the Japanese Occupation, the mansion was severely damaged. It

The house now known as ‘Carrick’ at No. 23 Coombe Road (which falls on Rural Building Lot 731) was constructed in 1887. It was obviously designed as a private luxury house used for residential purpose. Its first owner was John Joseph Francis (1839-1901), or J.J. Francis, as he preferred to be known. J.J. Francis purchased the plot of land on No. 23 Coombe Road in March 1886. In the following year he had his house, which he called ‘Stonyhurst’, built on the site.

Hi there,

Spotted this last weekend while going up Peel Rise again.  The marker on the map is by best guess.  It is abit off the road and inside the perimeter fance, slightly down at the top of a shaved slope over a covered garage.  I used quite a few days poking into the GeoInfo Map and hit RBL 561 & Ext a few days ago.

Best Regards,

T

Went up the Peel Rise last Sunday again and this time I spotted the RBL 730 marker right on top of the PL3 rain water drainage.  The market on the map is just an approximate location:
