I did look at this one once. I think this was what put me onto Railway Convalescent and other trade buildings.

I would like to see the back - this would be a front view - gate etc.

I wont say you are wrong Carol- others have done that for me

I think the new one pictured has too many chimney pots in each stack compared to the original picture.

But I definitely think Cazza's picture is a back view.

This plan might give us an idea what the other side could look like

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.

Are you searching your online collection of Hanbury/Clifton-Brown books?

I seem to remember you utilised them on the earlier WAIs

( I am now putting Fair View into some of my searching)

If we find a photo of the front of the house, there are going to be buildings on the left of the photo as we look at it. Do those buildings belong to this house or are they next door?

I was looking at houses with a boat house as somebody suggested and I ended up having a virtual tour of Sandbanks the spit of land near Brownsea Island off the Dorset coast. There are houses on there with viewing towers and boat houses, but I couldn't find ours. The main point is though that hardly any original houses are left in this millionaires playground. As soon as a house comes up for sale it is demolished and a modern glass building replaces it. Such a shame and maybe this could have happened to our house.  The few photos of the original houses that I can find seem to be of a similar style, but they are general views and hard to pick out individual houses.

The roofs and building materials are different so I think the houses are next door.

I've looked at Sandbanks but like you say houses there have been demolished at a rate of knots.

I looked  all round Poole Harbour as far as Swanage  as well but up to now I haven't found anything to match.

I see this photo has now made it to the RC Facebook page, who knows perhaps someone there will recognise it.
