On the roof of a Melksham Spa House

Over the weekend, we have been working (with far more skilled friends) to get our home / office at "404" linked to the hotel at "48" via a directional wifi setup. Not quite there yet due to ground clutter, but we will be. And it gave us the excuse to go up onto the roof at 404, which is 4 stories tall. Here's the view from the roof, looking towards the hotel and town.
A new view of our front garden, and showing just how narrow the houses are.
Although the roofs look flat from below, they're actually double pitched; some such as ours are slate, others are tiles. I'm not sure at the original material, but they were built some 200 years ago so that is lost in time.
If you should need a reminder of what those houses look like from below, this is it and you can see more here
