SORRY

I was gonna post a comment but I've changed my mind. I'm too tired
BYE

it wasn't. She unambiguously said that she lived at the front of the house, above the front room which doubled as mccarthy's shed. Her room's being directly above kelly is a long-standing urban myth.

I always believed Prater's room was directly above that of Kelly’s

A lively presentation, but not entirely accurate (e.g. two breasts on the bedside table... and another in the fire!). Not that it matters for the topic of this specific thread.

More accurately,the right hand window panes.
Just depends on the Sun's angle and the the way the picture is developed.

Window frame.

Is this an optical illusion or is the front wall (or part of it) of #19 /#13 demolished and we are seeing the continuation of the chimney breast (red arrow) with the roof being held up by supports (Green Arrow)?




I can see the down drainpipe at the corner of #19/#13 (below image - blue arrow) but what is the thing that appears like a drainpipe (yellow arrow)? More supports?


I appreciate that we can see the whitewash walls of #13 on the side and front.

Hope this helps.

Dave,
The three window configuration we see on #27 is mirrored in #26. #27 has no sloping roof to block the lower middle window but #26 does have the slope roof of #19 with the middle 'hidden' window partially within the roof space.

Richard.

I tend to agree with you about the apparent mirror-image concerning the placement of those rear windows.

The windows in the different colours here indicate the mirro image of the design.

My apologies for the wavering lines.

One of the problems with identifying this small window is that there appears to be an amount of rubble on the roof of the extension behind No.26.
In fact we cannot see the bottom sill of the larger window to the left of this small window.
We can't be sure what is being obscured by all that rubble.

If you notice, the side of the roof on the extension has a wall (indicated in green), which is not shown on contemporary press sketches.

"Doubt it is a mirror image of next door's window."

Why? It's clearly in the same configuration as #27's windows. both houses (front and back) are mirrors of each other apart from the addition of the #13/#19 (possible) addon. #27 is 3ft wider due to the inclusion of the over-arch space but regardless, the front windows, the front attic windows, the back slim eaves windows, the main windows & the back attic windows match, so why not that middle rear window?

I do agree, however, that the chimneys for #13/19 look to be original but I guess that IF they build a whole court in the back garden of #27#26 then a chimney stack would not be too much more work.

interesting !

Looks like the top of a doorway to me.
Just have a feeling it is related to access somehow.
Cat flap does make sense

Doubt it is a mirror image of next door's window.

Again,suspect the parlor was added to the plans during construction.
I really don't know.
