Hi there Mike,
The Ruins is a place in Bishops Sutton, near Alresford, Hampshire. The Ruins seems as if it is now the big gardens of Whitefriars, see web link below:

http://www.visitoruk.com/Winchester/bishops-sutton-C592-V25229.html

The information on that page was taken from a book that may hold more even information for you and if you internet search The Ruins, Bishops Sutton you may find even more.
Best wishes, haliared.

Thanks haliared,
I've searched "The Ruins" + Alresford but no definite result. Will try now with "Bishops Sutton"
Cheers, Mike

You are very welcome Mike,
This link below shows that the address was still extant in 1953.

There are ruins in Alresford, Essex, so when you search be careful you're not looking at the Essex one by mistake, I've made that error before !

Thanks again, haliared
Yes, I now about other Alresford in Essex.
By the way, this "Nicholson Olga Nina" was one of the residents of "The Ruins" I am looking for  :)
I have all the information (I think so) about her from Ancestry, newspapers, but still wander what this place "The Ruins" was.
Cheers, Mike

Your hint, haliared, worked!
Just have found this article I have not seen before. Seems there was some kind of clinic (Ophthalmology?) there, at The Ruins.

no, it was not a clinic, it was a house of Mrs. Arthur Hobson

not "my story", but just an interesting finding from "The Ruins":
Hon. Margaret Forbes-Sempill, who recovered for several month in 1931 at The Ruins after serious car accident in November 1930 was killed in car accident 36 years later  :(
