A cruck frame in a house in north-west England has been dated as from the second quarter of the 17th century. How can that be when most reference books say that it should be 16th century at the latest?

The rear elevation of a house in an East Anglian village has timber framing showing, but the front of the house is in brick and has a date stone giving the date of 1716.

What form of carpet would traditionally have been used on stairs?

I want to find some old pictures of my house as it looked at the time it was built. It is in a street in a small town and I think it was built about 1870 – 80. Where do I start looking?

Where can I find details about the listing of an old building that I do not own, but am interested in.?
