I don't have a photo but looking at my map of 1898 it looks to have been part of what is now Bengeo Mews and was Bengeo House, I remeber it as a childrens home in the 1960's most of it was knocked down when the new houses were built but in the car park behind the flats that form the ent5race is an old wall wil a window in it could that be part of it? Or the cottage which still exists between Bengeo Mews and Shepherds Court. It would be great to see the picture any chance?

Jaycee, if you open an account with a site such a photobucket you can download pictures from your pc. You can then copy the IMG code that is given to it and paste the code into your post. That usually works and it is easier than it sounds. If I can do it anyone can [;)] I think there was a thread in the about hertford online forum which might explain it better. Hope manage to post it up as I would love to see it too

I would love to show you the picture Marilyn,(incidentally, I have one of those old maps too..) but not sure how to get it posted on here. (Maybe one of the *techy* guys/gals could help here?) I know how to scan a picture - but that's where my knowledge ends, I am afraid... [IMG]http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/sigh.gif[/IMG] *J*

I know this is an old thread but the Bengeo Stories Exhibition in the museum has a picture of "Bengeo Cottage" and I am wondering if it is the same building that became Bengeo House, presumably it was enlarged. The reason I wonder is the picture has a large cedar tree which looks rather like the one that is still there.

I have now discovered that Bengeo Cottage/ House burnt down in a fire so I think that's the one in the picture. If anyone knows Jaycee can they put her in touch as she doesn't seem to have any e mail on her profile. Have some info might be of interest to her and would love to check if her picture is of the old one built possibly c16 or the later one.
