I've trawled through photos on Sheffield City Council website www.picturesheffield.com  and think it could be be Norfolk Arms Hotel, Manchester Road Hollow Meadows. 

i'm not sure about copyright so have put the picture reference numbers s07021 and s21793 for you to search
Julie

No doubt about it - well done!

It is still lovely today. It is called “Norfolk House” if the sign on the driveway on the left of the house relates to the house.

Looking at the front of it on street view I thought it was now a single dwelling but there are a lot of car parking areas at the rear so probably still a business.

It appears that the “castle” was not a castle ....

Good to see it survives and is well cared for.  ;)

Seems it is not a business ...

I must have passed it loads of times when visiting my daughter when she lived in Sheffield years ago!

Good evening,

Could it be a nursing home in North Wales?

No, wrong windows.

Wonder what happened to SB.
