Where Am I? No 12

[ScouseBoy]

This is a different sort of search from the churches and bridges, in some ways.

Do you remember that TV prog  "Through the Keyhole"

"Who would live in a House like this?"              Perhaps we also need to  think of that question?

A very wealthy person, is my answer.

Maybe this house was bought  on the marriage of someone?    Maybe the above house had been the Bachelors house,   and the new wife said "I am going to change this house  into a Family House"

I think that this was, at least, three buildings knocked into one. Looking at the chimney stacks and pots, there are differences in the design. (A) matches (A), (B) matches (B) and (B). There is a further high stack with pots behind the building. And, looking at the right hand extension, the materials used match that of the alteration left of the right hand door. (C) in both cases. In any case, it's a sod to find.

Or as I suggested earlier a 3 stage extension starting from the left hand building which I imagine was a Victorian villa with flat sash windows, one on side still remaining - again it does not the help find the b....y thing

I looked at this last night. I know it isn't this house but the aerial view gives you some idea of how a house can be extended into the most obscure shape.

Wow, that's a good price for all of that, including a sea view - I bet it goes for more.

You can say that again!

Of course it is just a wing of the house, but still very good value - where's my cheque book?

Hi All,

After weeks of fruitless searching for photos or descriptions of this house, I’ve tried a different tack - going back to the Clifton Browns/Hanburys, and trying to find some connection with hospitals or homes.

I came across this in the Bucks Herald, May 1902.



Then, of course, I couldn’t find a picture of  “Fair View”.

When searching, I did find an Upton House in Slough, which was apparently next door to Fair View.

Checked the 1911 census, and yes, they are separate establishments. 
For anyone who wants to look, the reference is RG14; Piece: 7847; Schedule Number: 52

Interestingly, there is another family living at Fairview Stables - who knows, perhaps the building behind the house …

Then looked on Google and Bing maps, and guess what …. Upton House is still there, but not Fair View.   Grrrr!

I really don’t know how to take this any further.
