EL01417a is colour versionPostcard, entitled 'Canford House, John o' Guant's Kitchen, shows building to left of John of Gaunt's (when looking from the river). Barry's bell tower is in place, so this image must be from 1849-51,Mark Rathbone has the following theory:Very interesting. This is totally different from the two-storey building shown in the 1786 and 1802 prints, and the gable and window design looks similar to the Blore/Berry main building, which suggests this was built either in the 1820s or the 1840s. As you say, the Bell Tower is there so the photo clearly dates from after c.1848. The style of writing in the caption looks similar to that on other postcards dating from 1890-1914.Mark Rathbone has the following theory:So here is a theory: the single-storey building connected JOG with Nineveh and was built around 1848-52. At some later date, it was demolished and replaced by the current archway, presumably to give better access to the kitchen yard behind JOG. My guess is that this took place at the same time as the demolition of the conservatory which connected the main building with Nineveh, which took place probably in the 1890s û the south wall of the conservatory was retained, with the window-arches filled in to form the screen still there today. The demolition of the conservatory created a larger space behind JOG, forming the kitchen yard, and the small single-storey building was demolished at the same time and replaced by the arch to provide access.Guesswork, as I say."
