Now you've got to tell us how you worked this out! 

I did a random Google, looked at some pictures, thought about it, scratched my head, then thought up some more Google searches and spotted a likely candidate.... so Googled that and up popped these pictures and I thought "can't be that .... is it ... it is ...."

Great find Stanley...especially given that the upper floor is out of view in the original photo.

So, you were just lucky then SC?   

Great result anyway.

I thought this was going to be a tricky one with the number of "Castle Hotels" there must have been ....

Shhh.... it's "tenacious and focussed researching of social history matters"

(and luck).



Unless you "know it" though, you have to be lucky.  I don't even know where this place is except it's in Devon.

It's the end result that matters SC.

Thanks Stanley ( I presume). GREAT exploration! Many thanks.

I agree with Ruskie, I thought this one would run with the amount of Castle Hotels. Brilliant work (& luck)!
