Towel, tower and the whole kit and caboodle!

The tower top has been found on another building, that tower was apparently used for coast guard/ watch purposes. National archives hold a photo/postcard collection of coastguard buildings so although I'm not visiting Kew I'll be working my way through what's listed in the catalogue in terms of locations.

p.s. who knows, maybe it'll be in wales

My local knowledge and research  indicates to me that the house  in the photo at the top of this thread WAS demolished   OR "re-built in 1906.   

I'm sure everyone is looking forward to reading a posting containing proof and documentary evidence of this

Throw in the towel? Never!!!!! My competitive juices are flowing and once moving can never be stopped. 

Hunting Lodge - I have looked at Golf Courses as well

John915 I liked your post and you make valid relevant points , but , I am quite comfortable continuing to look for convalescent , Childrens Homes, Boarding Houses etc. I do accept that 2 benches does not make a home , but, there have been enough similarities between the set-up and other Nursing homes for me to continue.

Not that I exclusively look for these type of dwellings.

I do think you are right that it is a building of parts and times. And therein lies part of the reason why I still search the above, because buildings grow and uses change.

Again a nice balanced post which made me re-examine some of my assumptions.

Do you think it could be part of a much bigger complex, like Weston Acre House. Surrey.

I don't think this is the one, just an example of what it could be like.

Hi Rootschatters

I've read through the forty odd pages on this house but don't see any mention of the structure behind the house that also looks like a tower. I mean the the one beyond the ivy covered chimney and the roof-line behind it.

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks but it looks like a small square church tower with some fancy stone-work border along the top. It lies between two chimneys but to me it looks like a separate structure beyond.

Could the house be a re-purposed and extended rectory or vicarage?

I've been assuming it was another large chimney on part of the house that we can't see, but yes it could be a tower.
Yes could be a vicarage - I think it could be a re-purposed, extended and much altered large house of any kind

And yes it could well be much larger than it looks - there is that half-hipped building behind for instance

Yes.   You are so right about the bigger complex.  This is just one face  of the whole.

So are you still saying you know this house? If so please post a photo so that we can solve it once and for all.
