But looking through a lot I think this aspect - whether it be back or front - was to show the lawn and house together to give the impression of space, because with wealth comes space.

Good point - and the house certainly does look huge from this aspect.

Friends of mine bought 2 adjoining cottages in a narrow lane with virtually no front garden. At the back they added an extension and have several acres of garden and meadow. A view from the bottom of the garden shows a fairly impressive country house - but from the front you just see 2 small cottages.
I suspect this house might be a similar case   ???

Nor can I - every time I get notification I think, "Is this it, has it been found?"

Sorry groom...and everyone else

Just an update. I am still looking from time to time and in my travels came across this wonderful site that has some lovely houses but also some genealogical family history.

I have asked the site manager to have a look and he has put it on his twitter and facebook page. Heres hoping

Have a look at this site http://landedfamilies.blogspot.com.au/ and hope Mr Kingsley and his readers can help :)

One thing that Nick suggested - along the lines of most who have had a look - he thinks it is also SE England

Even if it doesn't lead to finding the mystery house, that site is brilliant David - thank you! It's going straight into my favourites.  ;D

Don't know if this angle is worth exploring or not. Large houses were often used for hospitals or recuperation areas in both wars. I  can see a similar house in my minds eye with WW1 soldiers outside sitting on the seats. 

The building behind looks like a hall (religious ) of some sort. 
Wonder if this is a manse or vicarage?
If it was a vicarage or manse then it may have been one of the first to be offered up as a rest and recuperation area.

Some excellent advice shanreagh , and welcome to the thread.

We also think you are on the right track. :) It just has that feel doesn't it. Do you agree it could be more south-east than northerly?

I have seen some Manses which I thought came close.

Help needed please.

Please have a look on the photo restoration category.
