Elizabeth Almshouses, Worthing

Dear Hassocks, I am writing in connection with the Listed buildings in Worthing article, which seems to be predominantly your work. I am particularly interested in the Elizabeth Almshouses, Elizabeth Street, in connection with some work I've done on the Victorian architect William Burges. In brief, I am wondering if you have a photograph of the almshouses, or whether you would, at any stage, be in a position to get one. It is one of the few buildings of his for which I don't have a photograph, excluding a couple which have been demolished. I've tried Geograph, which draws a blank, and while I can find them online, [1], the images are copyright. I appreciate you may have no plans to be in Worthing at any point in the near, or indeed the far, future, in which case ignore my presumptuous request, but if you were, or if you already have a photo, it would be greatly appreciated. With best regards, KJP1 (talk) 18:33, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

That would be excellent, and most kind. There is absolutely no hurry, of course. It will fill in a very irritating gap in the List of buildings by William Burges. Many thanks indeed. KJP1 (talk) 04:45, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
You are a star! It's great to have another gap filled. The building's very recognisably Burges, although you're right about the damn car. Next time, if you could just hop over the wall and get a full-frontal! Many thanks and all the best. KJP1 (talk) 04:02, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

List of places of worship in Tunbridge Wells (borough)

I noticed you working on that (I like to keep tabs on people who write interesting articles).

To be honest I by far prefer your nonlist articles (I only commented on that one because of noticing the edit on your contributions page), but I promise to give the new one more of a look when it goes up. Circéus (talk) 12:58, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I've not been in touch for a while and hope all is well with you. Having discovered this list, you may or may not be interested to learn that my son-in-law is pastor of the Tunbridge Wells Christian Fellowship (not my style of worship, I fear), but we shall be visiting soon (and may have to experience their morning celebration!). Actually they do some very good work, but it's not my scene. Good to see that you continue to produce good material. Best wishes, --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 20:41, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
