    3. Hi all, I just got a will back, (John Markland d1860 on the off chance anyone is interested) and I've got a few questions: 1. Where is Salt Pie Row? I can't see it on a map, though James Riding said this in the list: "Salt Pie Yard, located behind the Gypsy's Tent pub on Red Lion Brow" - if so where's Red Lion Brow? White Lion Brow I know - my grandfather was born there - but not Red Lion Brow. 2. He leaves a ruck of houses on Salt Pie Row - 4 "double" houses, plus a place in Spring Gardens and 220 quid to his kids, yet the estate is still valued at less than £600. Rooting around on the gimpnet reveals that £600 is worth £37K now with inflation - that doesn't tie in with 5-9 houses. Am I missing something? I tried to find a site with historical house price data but I couldn't, does anyone know of anything? Thanks a lot, Paul. ------------ "Beer - it's not just a breakfast drink!"
