Mystery House

We recently received this postcard from Elsie who wondered where this splendid house was/is ? She isn't even sure whether it's appertaining to "our" Hyde. 

It looks awfully grand.
Has anyone got any ideas ?

    Could that be the cenotaph in the background?

    It looks like Oaklands Hall

    If that is the cenotaph, it could be Vale House or Brookbank house Godley. Both demolished.

    This postcard is for sale on EBay at the moment. No exact location is given, but the photographer is from Bridport, Dorset, so i guess it's reasonable to presume the building is or was in that area.

    Susan has rightly identified it as Hyde Residential Home in Bridport, Dorset !
    I thought it was a grand House !
    Thanks very much Susan !!
