Beautiful House but where is it?
« on: Tuesday 18 April 17 14:48 BST (UK) »
I would love to known where this house is...it is a divided back postcard dated 1906 and is unposted.
The inscription reads:
"Home! clean Home!
Where love burns brightly for you,
My own Darling.
July 1906

I bought it in King's Lynn...Any ideas welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Could it be a nursing home in North Wales?

 ... or near Southport?
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

It has probably been remodelled so extensively as to make it unrecognizable.  ;) ;D


(Lovely house Carol, but not many clues to go on. Lets hope you have as much success with this as you have with your other house postcard. Windows might help identify it if it still stands.)

My best guess at this stage would be a country rectory, or possibly a schoolmaster's house. A bit big for a village school, though, and no sign of it being attached to the school (which was common), but I could imagine it as a standalone master's house at a public school.

It looks to have been built all of a piece, and the creepers and mature trees suggest it's been there a while. The stone looks clean, so probably not in an industrial area.
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

Or bombed during one of the two wars...but you never know...the other one was a little earlier and is still there  ;D

Some good thoughts there Arthur and thanks for joining in...any ideas on the name of the dogs or whether they are related  ;D ;D ;D ;D
