If that happens again. Click on Modify Post. Then Highlight the small lines . Click on font size box and select 12. Text will then appear at readable size.


Dear History Brethren, i need your expert experience, please.Hoo Salt Marsh (or Hoo island is what i call it), used to be made up of several smaller marshy islands which were gradually joined together through dredging material being deposited over a wide area making it what it is today.On a map from around 1870, there is a 'Red House' marked by what i think is an enclosure prolly meant for animals.I've seen 'Red House' marked on another map and I'm guessing it might be another description for an abattoir, but that's just a guess.Has anyone else seen similar or know what this could be, please? (zero point for anyone who suggests its a house painted red! )Many thanksAdmiral

Hi Admiral D, Your original post was there.  It was just at an extremely small font size.  Best wishes  John

for some unknown reason, my first post didn't show the text - I find its surprisingly less than straight forward posting anything on this forum, its either the photos are a problem of the text!


Anyway... here's what was meant to be in the previous post:


Dear History brethren,


I would like your expert advice on the attached map from 1870 which show a hexagon (this is an embanked enclosure of some kind) and a 'Red House' marked in it.


I have seen 'Red House' on other maps and I'm guessing this might be another name for an abattoir, but that's just a guess.

Has anyone seen similar or know what this might refer to, please? (zero points for anyone suggesting its a house painted red!  :P )


Many thanks
