Can You Name this Building?
« on: Thursday 23 February 23 14:28 GMT (UK) »
I wonder if anyone can name this building please. It looks like it could be a school, but where?
Thanks for looking.

Yes Chrissie, I only noticed that after it was  posted. Maybe a college.
Thanks for looking.

Whe I had a look on Google lens, it was suggesting a railway station. Could the glass roof building behind cover some railway tracks. Might be completely 'off course' but just a thought to get us going

That's a great consideration Chrissie, I hadn't noticed it. It does look as though it is part of the building.
Thanks for that.

My first thought was a railway station too, because of the glass roof, but I haven't found it yet. There are/were fairly extravagant Gothic stone-built stations at Stamford and Oundle, if that's any help.

Thanks for your interesting response Arthur, Gothic Stone buildings is a good shout.
