VILLAGE STREET SCENE Hillside buildings. UK LOCATION help, please

Hello!

Any ideas please as to the location of this

HILLSIDE COUNTRY VILLAGE STREET SCENE

c1918 view. In the background is a row of  (possibly Georgian)  two story houses with small front gardens. The end property has first floor windows with 12 panes.

On an incline to the left of the ink cross is a pair of two story houses having three 1st floor windows. The first house has a ground floor bay window. A similar property with the 'X' has a porch and seating which would suggest an inn.(At the top of the photo is written I am sleeping where X is)

There are two one story cottages either side. Nearest the camera is a large probably stone built house.

I think the central tree is a Horse Chestnut. There are no signs to be read anywhere.

I have an inkling that it's Cumberland/Westmorland.

I guess it's unreadable but is that a wooden sign to the right of the cross lower down?  Or maybe a sign on the wall.

Well spotted! There IS a sign, on a slant, but it's too blurred to read. If the building was a pub it might read "GENTLEMEN"! I've looked  over the photo with a strong mag. glass and can find no lettering at all. There's nothing on the side of the cart in the road.

You could be right about it being 'Gentleman as there is another identical building to the left side of the 'main' building with what could be a notice by the top of the door

Well spotted also! There is a sign there but you can hardly see it let alone any lettering. There is an unpainted facade in-between what could be an inn and this building.

I did wonder if it could be a lavatorial sign!

Lets not get bogged down  with a discussion about toilets.

Wild stab in the dark but if it is lettering it looks a short word like ICES. 

As to the location though afraid have no idea

There is a woman just outside the other (matching) building.
