| observation:- |
The main room of the house has 'beams', boxed in somethings rather than solid beams.
The face of one of these has three inscriptions:- |
|
| "THE ROCK WAS BLASTED OUT TO PARTLY MAKE ROOM FOR THE HOUSE / AND THE WALLS BUILT BY
MATTHEW H. THOMPSON OF GARNETT BRIDGE." |
||
| "THIS HOUSE, CALLED NETHER BOWER, WAS BUILT BY ALFRED WILSON / OF STAFFORD, AND MARY
HIS WIFE, IN THE YEAR 1913 GEORGE V REX." |
||
| "ROGER MARTINDALE OF LOW HOUSE LONGSLEDDALE MADE THE ROAD UP / TO THIS HOUSE, GEO.
ELLIOT AND SON, GARNETT BRIDGE CARPENTERS." |
