This is all very bewildering.  I found an article referring to Upton House in 1909 being a school. It goes on to say
 The caption on the photograph also refers to the school adjoining the Paddington Green Children's Hospital Convalescent Home. The Convalescent Home was apparently established for the patients who had passed through the Children's Hospital at Paddington Green, London. It held 24 children and was free to children of the poor 'without letter of recommendation'. The Home was located in a house called Fair View.

I have spent the afternoon virtually touring hotels and care homes in the south of England.  Husband is starting to get a little worried..........

I saw a teeny photo of Clare House, Uxbridge and got excited but it didn't stand up to closer inspection.   ::) (http://www.bupa.co.uk/care-services/care-homes/clare-house-nursing-home-uxbridge )

I don't think the topography would work for it to be Fair View near Upton House.  Nice try though  ;)

I was just thinking something very similar Nell.

Remember the trees when you are looking, they do suggest a coastal location.

OR  a location  up to about ten miles inland, but an exposed location?

I will be off to the records office  or speaking to more people tomorrow or this week anyway.

Note to Cazza:   have you any more photos which could possibly be  other views of this house, please?

I'm wondering if any clues might be teased out of the locations already discovered.  I have no idea if the whole batch are related to each other in any way, but it might be worth considering.

There have been several of Great Yarmouth and Cromer.  Then there seems to be some taken on a tour round the coast of the Highlands (Tain, Keiss Castle, Thurso, Brora, Bonar Bridge).  There is the group associated with the Hanbury & Clifton Brown family in the Burnham area of Buckinghamshire, two or three in Cornwall, Hitchin is another  place, and Canterbury with two or three.

But I think we need Cazza to let us know if there is anything in the context which might indicate a link.  I have a ton of photos from my late m-i-l which I dare not remove from the order they arrived until I've got them all catalogued in some way.  It's my only hope of giving them a definitive date.  Mine are mostly people though.
