Hello Artha, Sorry to hear you have not had a response yet to your enquiry re Lillybank area of Forfar. I only know of the present area of Lillybank in Forfar which skirts the edge of the town, and am unaware of it's history. The only major building of note I know of in the area would be Forfar Infirmary. But I'm pretty sure it's not as old as 1850-60's. Hopefully we have some Forfar born & bred amongst us on the list who might be able to answer your enquiry, otherwise it might be an idea to check the 1851 and 1861 census for the area, if it was a residential building it should be recorded on the census... If you ever do find out what it was....do let us know !! :o) Cheerio Norma > > -----Original Message----- > From: thomas towell <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Date: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 7:58 PM > Subject: Lillybank-1851to1862 > > > Does any one have any information about a facility labeled Lillybank located on Royalty boundry road just outside the town ofForfar Scotland on maps of the area from 1851 through 1865? Is it a Factory-- Manor House-- or another facility? The Poorhouse is located across the road and closer in toward the town of Forfar as apoint of reference. I have a note from John Petrie dated February 1862 -- perhaps he worked or resided at Lillybank-- it looks to be a substantial building surrounded by lots of open land arround it on the map of the area at that time.!
