	Try your local records office. Mine were very helpful & found the building plans for my house from 1902.

	Do you own your home? If you do, have you got a copy of the Deeds? They would give you so much information about the building and previous owners. Our house isn't particularly old, but when we registered with the Land Registry, we were able to retain the original Deeds, and it shows when various people bought and sold the piece of land, before the house was built.
