Drawing by Thomas Whitehouse showing Haigh Hall in 1826. Looks like they had a couple of TV's?

They'll be the lightening conductors Ron I presume. A great picture.

They'll be for hanging washing on

They were for hanging the servants up who disobeyed an order.

There’ll be a little lad at the other end of those rods, thrutchin’ like mad to get all the soot out of the chimney.
