I've been working quite hard to establish possibly the least well known farm complex at Waterloo, the farm of Frischermont. The building is off the Siborne model and was destroyed in the 1960s. The evidence is therefore circumstantial

This engraving is a little fanciful in so far as you cannot see the Lion's Mound from this view, but the general lay out is supported by the only known photograph of the farm below. |

This dwelling was constructed in the late 19th Century and is irrelevant to the 1815 plan. The round well looks original. |

Useful detail on the Eastern side of the farm. The ornate roof window looks late 19th Century. |

This will be another modelling masterpiece by your father! A huge hat doffing to him, thanks and best wishes to you both.

Thanks James, it should be a first: Frischermont has never been properly modelled before so it has been fun to research it.
ReplyDeleteThat makes it even more special James. It was an impressive set of buildings. The tower is particularly striking and the entire model will look superb once painted and on the diorama. Congratulations and thank you again to you both, James
DeleteThanks James, should have further progress to report soon.
