November 26th – Now, this has snagged my interest. Spinning out through Lichfield after lunch, I cycled down Wheel Lane. I’ve never noticed these two dramatic, intricate semis before; there has to be a story here. I don’t think they’re as old as one might think; those chimney pots and chimneys look inter-war to me, yet the apparent timber frame looks old. I just love them; the one on the right looks to have been repointed recently – that must have been an intricate job.

Anyone know anything about them?
