Hi to you all. l have been loaned a old family album by my aunt, for which l am thrilled. It has taken me many months to extract the info of the old photos of many of my relations (thanks to my Aunt Pat )and many nights putting them in my ELLIOTT family history. It has been a task, l had remembered many faces from my childhood but did not recall a name. Now that has been done but there are a few pictures that l have put to one side in the no idea section! .....One is a copy of a painting of a group of cottages called cold harbour in Wendover l thought it was a postcard at first but gently peeled it away and there is nothing on the reverse. It was put on a piece of card and someone with a pencil drawn a frame around with the words Cold harbour Wendover in capitals and signed D R (Lede/peele?) underneath this is different writing with blue pen.. from paradise road corner... this is where the pic was taken from l suspect. l have traced the cottages and they still exist on the Tring road and they trace back to Henry VII when he gave them to his wife Catherine of Aragon. that is all l know thanks to a google search. Tring road is a long road and there is no mention of paradise road acording to many maps l have searched. If there anyone that has any info on this group of Cottages l would be very grateful. regards Margaret Birmingham
