Old photograph - is it a hotel? Where is it?

I must be missing something obvious barryd - is there a specific image you are referring to in that link?

Attercliffe is pretty flat, on the whole. The Ecclesall/nether edge areas are more likely, if this pic is indeed of Sheffield.

If anyone wants an idea of what I'm on about, take a street view stroll along Thornsett Rd or Rustlings Rd in Sheffield; just two of many roads in the area with architecture like this. Many of them had coach houses. Stone walls were the norm.

Is there some sort of lettering above the window on the smaller building (i.e. the one on the right as you look at the picture?)

The dry stone walling is typical of the Peak District and Yorkshire. Could the castle in the distance be Peveril Castle at Castleton. It looks the same shape and not too far from Sheffield

Funny you should suggest that Chris. It was my first thought too, hence my request for a better scan of the castle.

Chris I was about to say that the stone used in the building is typical York stone available right across the north pennines area. The dry stone wall is typical Yorkshire, Derbyshire dales type.

Have tried enhancing the photo, but the original is too low resolution to see anything definitive. But it does look like a stone lintel above the window.
