Janan

Was it the Clifton Brown family photographs you were thinking of? If so that was in Bucks (Burnham).

No problem Janan...this one has driven me insane since Cazza first posted it! I do hope somebody finds it before it completely tips me over the edge!

2 observations, 1, there are park style benches which indicates (to me anyway) not a private residence. 2, all of the upstairs windows are open. May be just coincidence but looks like a convalescence home for TB sufferers.

Good to have some fresh ideas on this, and I wonder if you might be on to something here. Whatever the house may have been before or afterwards, the blinds (which I think someone mentioned recently) and the open windows could well suggest some kind of sanatorium etc. Or maybe a military hospital, if it's a wartime photo? Or a children's home/school?

It may have  been a sporting estate?  Shooting and fishing and Fox hunting perhaps?

  The blinds could indicate that the owner was a wealthy textile manufacturer from Manchester and could  afford to buy the most modern and stylish furnishings.

SB, I didn't realise it was only wealthy textile manufacturers from Manchester who could afford to buy the most modern and stylish furnishings. Unfortunately I doubt that speculating about the blinds will get you any closer to determining the location of this house.

Open windows may suggest it was a nice day and the house was being given a good airing. I have noticed in a lot of Caz's photos that the many of the windows have been open, so maybe it was a Victorian/Edwardian "thing".  :)

I'm not sure if the benches would have been used in private gardens as well as public. A quick look at google isn't helping me much.
