Rider Wilson apparently did door to door deliveries, so this may show them doing just that in Sheffield. There are plenty of houses of this style and age in the city, for example in the Nether Edge or Botanical Gardens areas. Sheffield being a hilly place, the topography would also fit.

Could it be a nursing home in North Wales?

Lots of interesting pictures here: http://www.picturesheffield.com

If you are able to get a clearer scan which is too big to post in full, are you able to post sections in a higher resolution? I think that castle might be the key to solving this*, so maybe start with that?  :)

Yes, I was thinking the same - it could very well be a nursing home in North Wales.   ;D

*or maybe not.  ;D

Could Attercliffe be a possibility? I looked at the wall around the property. Is that a "Northern" wall if such a wall exists?
