Building ID Please (if possible??)
« on: Sunday 30 January 05 23:07 GMT (UK) »

knowing what a knowledgable & resourceful lot you all are  I thought I'd ask a probably impossible question.But you never know...
It seems quite a striking building to me in the background .Does anybody know where it is or recognize it?
thanks for any help.
regards
Gazza

It's definitely Elizabethan.  One of the most famous is Little Moreton Hall, Cheshire but I've done a quick web image search and can't see a corresponding photo so it may be somewhere else.

Good luck

There are a number of these Tudor buildings - Speke Hall in Liverpool has the same aspect.  I guess it is a holiday "snap".  Have you any clue what part of the country?

Sorry you cant see picture Gen. Dont know why ???
The older lady in the picture is my Grandmother.She was born in Kings Lynn,but married and lived in Tottenham in later life.
The other lady sitting on what looks like a stone bridge  wall is speculation. I think it is a neice,which could be anywhere.
Its a chicken & egg situation. I was hoping the area might give me a clue as to who the relly was.
The relly may possibly be from Bournemouth . Sadly I have no living relly's to ask.
Again ,if its a holiday snap,it could be anywhere.

I straight away thought Gawsworth Hall in Cheshire.

They have a website http://www.gawsworthhall.com/index.html
Allen, Faraday, Wood, Mack in South Shields
Linnell in Warwickshire
Mills and Halliwell in Liverpool and Lancashire

Speke Hall has the bridge. See main photo on this page.

I reckon we could find loads that look similar.

The black and white makes a square pattern the gawsworth place has a wheat pattern.
