"Tars will believe what they want . . ."

A pregnant statement if ever there ever was! Hastening back to the 'North Pole' topic:- Roger did not mention the Old View House at Borrans Park. Has this now been dispensed with as the inspiration for the 'North Pole' building? A TARS party claimed to have found the site by dowsing in 1993, and the theory was that the OVH had not been shown on maps because it was merely a wooden building and not considered permanent. The OVH had an apse-like frontage similar to that drawn in WH. I think this is a far more likely source than the Brantwood turret, which some Tars, including Roger (MM 2011), have pointed to. Wrong shape and wrong position, surely?
