Where is this old house?
« on: Wednesday 01 April 20 09:23 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know where this is? It's not mine, it's from an old postcard being offered online.

Thanks

Mike

Does the listing say there is anything written on the postcard? A quick Google search doesn’t throw up anything for Fulldew Hall. 

It could be even more frustrating knowing it’s name but nothing more .....

Even the tiniest clue might help. I am hoping for a miracle and there is something written on the postcard. 

If there is no additional information on the advertised listing, maybe a message to the seller might be worth a punt. We could provide a link to the WAI threads .... they are h u g e!

To my eye, there's something not quite right about the picture?

Looks to be photo-shopped from at least 2 other photos - if not more?
The buildings on the left don't seem to "mesh" together well?
