I now live in Nottinghamshire but grew up in Torquay so am very interested in its history.  I wonder if anyone knows if St Raphaels is still there ? 
There is a marvellous family history/refrence library at Torquay library and also Torquay Museum hold records too.  I wonder if they could provide more information.  It looks like St Raphaels was in the Lincombes area of Torquay - lots of Victorian mansions there as well as in the Warberries.  I remember several big mansions being demolished in the 60s and as children we used to go up and play in the grounds.  The other building called Kilmore was knocked down and my father worked on the new flats they built in its place - also called Kilmore.  They are quite noticeable from the coast as they have sort of oriental looking decorative tops.
