Where Am I? No 12

[DavidG02]

Scouseboy , I appreciate your dogged persistence in your belief that this property is the one we are after.

But , I would , and I am certain others would , like to see more than suggestions and statements that buildings change. Otherwise I would assert Cerne Abbas is our building. 

If you can give definitive proof - a photo - or a website that describes the building and its changes that match the visual , then I will be the first in a long line of people to congratulate you and admit I was wrong. 

[ScouseBoy]

Thank you.  I am looking for that information locally  and currently.

FAR too many differences Scouseboy - FAR too many!

No matter what you call it "Fron Yw  or Vron Yw in Llangwyfan" - it makes no difference.

Fron Yw  or Vron Yw is NOT Caz's mystery house.

I believe that it is Fron Yw  or Vron Yw in Llangwyfan near Denbigh. 

I suggest people search on the alternative  spelling of Vron Yw  owned by a Mr Behrens, presumably a wealthy  business man.

Someone may like to search the 1901 Census  for who lived at Vron Yw  Llangwyfan  and the  adjacent  Fron Yw  cottages.

 I think it's up to you to do these and other searches and prove this beyond reasonable doubt 

Look at the Census  for confirmation is my suggestion.

I don't understand how the census will confirm you are right 

I've compared the photos many times and can see hardly any points of similarity.

Right lets regroup on this one.

Tell me whether you agree or disagree with my thoughts.

Not a family home, suggesting convalescent home, nursing home, sanatorium, WW1 hospital etc.

The tower suggesting there is something worth looking at, sea view/harbour being the obvious thought.

Trees in the background. Appear to be leaning to the right suggesting the prevailing wind is coming from the left ie. south west.

The alternative to that is that it was blowing a gale when the photo was taken.

Pine trees, could be many coastal locations in England, Scotland or Wales.

The large amount of open windows in the photo again bringing me back to something like a sanatorium.

The green house/conservatory/orangery, they were built originally to house ornamental plants or tender fruit etc. does this suggest it was originally a family home that had been converted to something else? I don't know if the style of that could help with date. Or again was it built as some form of rehabilitation for the patients.

Lawn appears to be covered in daisies, so not close mown again suggesting some kind of institution etc.

Why no sign of any human anywhere? Odd.

[Joyful]

I agree with your thoughts jaywit, I said in the beginning that I thought it was

a convalescent/ sanatorium...I just can't find it

[Mike in Cumbria]

All of that sounds about right.

[Joyful]

Scouseboy I await the results of your research, which should be interesting

If you prove your case there's a bottle of cyber champagne coming your way

Jaywit , those are the points I have been chasing as well. Even to the point of looking at childrens homes and private boarding  schools etc. The picture taken in holidays would point to the lack of lawn care and people.

I am currently going through a list of Lost Country Houses. Only 1915 to go
