    Hi Roni, the link: a very interesting literary appraisal - thanks!

    I hadn't appreciated that Harriet Beecher Stowe had stayed with the Cropper's before just now.

    William Roscoe who is mentioned in the article also wrote The Nymph of the Dingle which is copied in post#16 on the Dingle Glen in Old Photos thread.

    I keep thinking of Willink & Thicknesse (architects).

    Fancy going through life being called "Thicknesse"?

    And there's me thinking this forum is full of competing geeks - yet to me this single post outgeeks them all! This'll keep 'em busy for weeks!... Harriet Beecher Stowe and Nathaniel Hawthorne having a Dingle Bank connection indeed! Defoe's encounter with Lancashire Clowns! Who knew about Tom Paine's bones?
    Roscoe living and dying in Lodge Lane... Where's the Blue Plaque?

    Congratulations, oh Queen of The Geeks!

    'Willink & Thicknesse' - Cunard Building? They were also commissioned by Harrods to put a Liverpool store on the St Peter's site, but it fell through. Woolworth's won the day.

    I got trapped in there, you keep going don't you!? I was shocked to read about Tom Paine's bones. Never heard that before. That was a facinating read. I am shocked I did not know this stuff already.

    Queen of the Geeks, I have to tell the person who called me a geek who herself is a super geek!! If I put her job title up here it would scream GEEK!!!

    "Mr Thicknesse" - what a name for an architect .

    A partnership between William Edward Willink [1856-1924] & Philip Coldwell Thicknesse [1860-1920]

    Hi squiggs, I can see you've got a bee in your bonnet over this - although it's hard to makeout in your photo?

    My pleasure Lindy. I have to double check it all as I did not know most of the information on there. Fascinating if it is all true. I think I have read once before about Dickens signing up as a policeman to get info but the rest is news to me.
