Roger. Downham Market Old Rectory image - sorry, the dog is wrong. Right colour, but wrong breed.

Do we know its name though that might give us a clue?  ;D ;D

If your iPhone 'looks like a plastic down pipe'....

I was trying to determine Scribble's location as I thought she might be aliasing as someone else (who lives there).  ;) :)

Scribble, The postcard is dated 1906 so the downpipe will be dated prior to that. Downpipes in 1906 were not made of plastic, rather, I suspect, a metal of some sort, possibly cast iron.

Before posting on these Identify sites, it is always better to check facts to avoid making silly mistakes. The postcard is dated 1906 but a quick check shows that

"The first plastic based on a synthetic polymer was made from phenol and formaldehyde, with the first viable and cheap synthesis methods invented in 1907, by Leo Hendrik Baekeland, a Belgian-born American living in New York state."
