Hi Peter – season's greetings to you. I was out and about in Chester on Christmas Day (taking advantage of the quiet streets!) and photographed the artillery stores in Chester Castle (right) – but I can't find an entry in any of your "Grade II listed buildings in Chester" articles. I assume it should fall under Grade II listed buildings in Chester (south) but before I create a new entry, can you confirm I haven't missed it somewhere else? Dave.Dunford (talk) 18:20, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Christmas, David! I agree; I cannot find it in any of the lists. I should be very happy for you to add it to "south". I remember being somewhat confused about the buildings around the castle at the time.

Thanks – done. Dave.Dunford (talk) 20:41, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Dave for adding the item. On reflection, "south" refers to south of the river, so I have moved it into the "central" list, where it more correctly fits. Cheers. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 08:57, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very happy to see you are moving on to North Yorkshire! I will try to write articles on the more notable buildings after you've created the corresponding articles.

Great work once again on the Nottinghamshire series. I think you're just missing articles on listed buildings in the two Gamstons?

Happy New Year! Warofdreams talk 19:58, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year to you too! And thanks for your comments. Gamston, Rushcliffe has only one LB, so that does not make a list - perhaps a reference to it could be made in the village article. I did miss Gamston, Bassetlasw, which has 5 LBs, so I will prepare a list for that. Best wishes, --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:51, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I was about to add this article to the Listed buildings in Great Boughton as that seems the right place for it but I wondered if you thought it didn’t belong there for some reason? Thanks Mccapra (talk) 06:46, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that takes me back over 10 years. Thanks for your interest. Since the lists were created, Cheshire has been bedevilled by boundary changes. Great Boughton was then a civil parish, but now no longer. Boughton Lodge was not in the parish, but in the eastern part of the city of Chester, known as Boughton (sometime confusingly as Great Boughton). So I included Boughton Lodge in the city list rather than the parish list. Today, I have altered the text of the Great Boughton list, and in the Chester list have linked the Lodge and added the photo from the Lodge article (which I discover I created 13 years ago but later failed to link in the list). Cheers. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 10:11, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then my work here is done! I thought the reason might be to do with boundaries and didn’t want to mess up your work. Thanks for sorting it all out. Mccapra (talk) 10:34, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Peter. I was out and about on the Greater Manchester/Lancashire border last week and photographed a couple of listed buildings in Lumb, near Edenfield. I think these should be in Listed buildings in Rawtenstall but I can't find them. Buildings are Lumb Old Hall, Lumb Viaduct and Lumb Bridge. Any idea where the might be or where I should add them? Dave.Dunford (talk) 11:10, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Dave. It's the nightmare of unparished areas and finding all the included buildings. I did miss these listed buildings and have now added them. Cheers.--Peter I. Vardy (talk) 18:16, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'm a long time lurker and admirer of your listed building lists. Do you know which of the Eaton Hall estate lodges was the home of Anne Grosvenor, Duchess of Westminster? Christies wrote that "After her husband's death, Nancy moved to a charming smaller house in the park at Eaton in Cheshire that had been built as a gamekeeper's lodge in the style of a 'cottage orné', with a luncheon room for shooting parties".[1] "Eaton Lodge" is routinely used in references, but it hardly narrows it down on the NHLE.

(talk page stalker) - It's the one that looks like this, [2] and it was available for rent, but the brochure just gives a 404 error now. The article says it's Douglas work, so it may be in his biography, which I think Peter has. My copy's in a box but I'll look it up when I can. KJP1 (talk) 14:25, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fancy meeting you here .... I've found archived brochure but no photos alas. I assume it's listed, but it has had so much work done. No Swan So Fine (talk) 15:01, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I cannot be sure. The estate agent says it was designed by John Douglas, which narrows it a bit. Listed buildings in Eaton, west Cheshire includes three buildings with the title "Lodge" designed by Douglas, Upper Belgrave Lodge, Stud Lodge, and Belgrave Lodge. I don't have a copy of the biography. Good luck, --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:08, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found a convenient list of the listed buildings in the other Brompton: [3]. Warofdreams talk 21:34, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. I have just started Brompton-on-Swale, which will be followed by the "other Brompton". Cheers. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 07:17, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the list for the Broughton which has more than one listed building: [4]. Warofdreams talk 14:05, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks (lots of boundary stones!). --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:12, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
