Thanks Pinz. Chriskay, clearly underestimated the skills of a freelance detective.

Well done super sleuths. I see Wales has moved! Still haven't repaired the stone wall--just whitewashed it. Cant believe the little shed thing is still standing by side of house

It was the chimney stacks, those on DD's picture seemed a bit different or unusual.
I started looking for anything that might throw a bit of light on them. A site came up with a picture very like DD's and an article saying 'typical parapet gables' in Douglas, Isle of Man. With that, then started a search of the resorts in the Isle of Man.

Just lucky really.
