I agree with you. Amazing how much the area has changed.

Hia, the WELL is NOT that far over. Nowhere near Sainsbury's. If you look on the OTHER photo as to where Laycocks is in the distance, the 'photographer is stood by the well', so it would be impossible for it to be up there. It was located on the side of the old pathway heading down towards Norton Hollow. The hillside, we believe, you can still see on the lower Fraser Cres up to Fraser Rd, with the photo looking up across it at a right angle. Hence why you can only see the upper part of Laycocks building. It is difficult making any positive identification, because the area has been built on so much, and there are so many large trees now blocking any view there was. My friend from Norton Lees and I, researched this quite intensely for several years, and this is the conclusion from the results of all the information we found, from walking the area, photos and old maps. I'm sure this will be an ongoing debate for a long time! Regards Heartshome.
