Could it be the Priory Hotel   at Cartmel

Err .... clearly not.

Have you even looked at an image of the Priory Hotel before making that suggestion?

[Mike in Cumbria]

Are you sure you're not confusing it with the Priory Hotel in Cape Town? Or Libya?

Could it be the Priory Hotel   at Cartmel

Have you checked what the Priory Hotel in Cartmel looks like?

Yes, I have

Perhaps then you'd give a link to an image which leads you to think it's the Priory Hotel?

How on earth do you get that SB, from the images I've found it's nothing like it? Can you post the one you've found please, as I'm obviously looking at a different place.

[Ruskie]

Gee Scouseboy, with all due respect you do talk a lot of rubbish sometimes. 

The Priory hotel at Cartmel bears NO resemblance to any of the buildings in the OPs photo.

I think nuns wore ankle length habits until comparatively recent times.

Or Oban ....

Yes, pre Vatican II, even for an order working in the community or a hospital, relatively modern style dress such as in the photo would have been unusual for a nun. I don't think it's a nun in the photo.

On the 'toilets' issue, perhaps it was different in the UK, but until the last 70 years or so in Ireland, while there would have been public signs for 'gentlemen's' conveniences attached to pubs, 'ladies' were above such bodily functions and horror of horrors would not be seen in a public house anyway.

[tonepad]

Who would want to sit on a bench outside of a toilet, unsavoury?
Also, opposite the horse and cart, there appears to be a gentleman (the cart driver?) relieving  himself in public and on camera. Why would he do that if there were public toilets nearby?
