Re: (S) Oh Dear !!
Interesting dilemma. Who gets the coconut? AccyStanFan who knew the location but not the name, or Willow who knew the name?

I can't decide. So I will award each and several a coconut, just to be fair.

Yes the photograph is of Elmfeild Hall in Gatty Park (1856). Formerly the residence of the F.A. Gatty, Owner of the former Hag Bleachworks and inventor of khaki dye, which did not fade in the light or during washing.

Oops sorry ASF. Hadn't spotted that. But A-b is very generous with his coconuts and you can have a balloon to go with it.
