The lady looks very much like a girl guide leader and would not have had badges on her sleeves. You can just about see a badge on her tie.
I don't think it is Lady Baden Powell, the Chief guide, but it could be. This is a photograph of her in a very similar uniform.

I'm pretty sure Trishanne's photo is Lord and Lady Baden-Powell. Have a look at Google images for them. They had children.

Those guide uniforms etc look pretty convincing to me, and no doubt with a bit of more research a rough date can be established.

That was the original question, though the building still intrigues me a bit. Might it possibly not be in the UK at all? One possible scenario: guide was a friend of mgeneas' mother and went to a camp somewhere overseas; had her photo taken there and gave it to mother on return. But working that out could be a long job, and I'm not sure I'm up for it at the moment.

Trishanne  only posted her photo of the Baden Powells as an example of a woman's guide uniform to aid identification of the photo posted by mgeneas.

Of course you are Arthur  ;D

There looks to be a large wooden gate to the left, also, those are strange looking finials on the posts at the left hand side.

There is also the small building on the left which is connected to the main building by a flat top roof with what looks like a walkway underneath  :-\

None of the 3 ladies look remotely like the Northampton relations. I will unearth the photos of the Bristol lot and compare. If not then then I am out of ideas.
The building might be one owned by the Girl Guides
