Impressive looking house.  This is as close as I can get to it on current day streetview, you can just see the crenellations through the trees.

Lovely story about Keith the raspberry muncher  ;D

ADDED:  If you "walk" around the corner towards the seafront on to Marine Road on Streetview you can see a bit more of the roofline over the wall.

Those are wonderful, Jool, thanks so much...
I'll get the images up on Mum's IPad when I go to see her tomorrow evening.  She'll be delighted to see them, stirring old memories...

Hi Keith,
I live in Kingillie House, in the basement flat. I'll happily take some photos you can show your mum and post them when I have.
