Before I shutdown for the night, here is a picture of my great great grandfather's house in Ysbty Ystwyth.

Ty Newydd. Built around 1833. The old guy on the left is my cousin Ifor.

Beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing. That was a pretty large house for the time, wasn't it? It would be tempting to inquire into buying the land and trying to restore the house. I'm not even sure that an American would be allowed to purchase land in Wales or the United Kingdom but it's nice to think about.

Wow, still standing. Every brick looks to be in place and just the windows are broken. Were you able to walk around inside at all? They just don't make houses like they used to - of course indoor plumbing and electricity are also good.
