This was in an old photo album all the photos dated around 1890 1910 I think. All my family came from London and Kent.This is not much to go on but would love to know if anyone recognises it if it is still standing

Did your family spend any time on the Isle of Wight?   Memory of similar shaped
house at the  foot of Carisbrooke Castle?  That was some 30 years ago, will sk friend who is still there to look at your photo.

Good luck Val

Thanks Val
I have never found any of my family names on the census who have been in the Isle of W.
I wrote to the Dover museum years ago to see if it was in Kent anywhere,but they said it was unlikely.
Have done some searching on google to try and find the style of the house and try to date it, but have not come up with anything, so I was hoping the experts on this site might be able to help.

That rounded end is very unusual Maddy,I wonder if it has a matching one at the other end.I would think we are looking at the back here.

It would be the house of a wealthy  family,  with live in servants and maids who lived on the top floor.

They would have employed a gardener or several gardeners.   Probably had one or more horses.

If it is still standing today, it may be a hotel or a nursing home.

Just a hunch, try along the south coast say Hampshire or Dorset.

Are there any clues in the caption alongside it?

There is nothing written on the back of it is there?

It might be somewhere they went for a holiday rather than where they lived.

Just think of the expense, though.   All those servants and the electric bill would have been huge  ( although they probably did not have electricity at first)
