I agree Ruskie, it isn't large enough to be a boarding school now, more likely a hotel or care home or divided up into flats.

Don't worry about the tea bags Carol, we'll bring our own, you just supply the cakes. Better still, once we identify the photo, we'll all have a picnic on that lawn.

Scribble....I think the grass is circa 1906 and no sign of moles or weeds  ::)

How is knowing that going to help identify the house, which is what Carol is asking?

Carol, there are quite a lot of similarities with the 'Rightmove' house .... Particularly windows, and possibly construction materials.

Scribble, what generally happens with these searches (we do see quite a lot of them on rootschat and the threads are very popular) is that people put forward observations which lead to key word searches, and often the location is found through diligent searching. Perhaps if you keep that in mind you may be able to come up with some useful suggestions.
