Great, I knew it would be easy, well done, over to you.
There are a lot of images of the building on the internet.
They are known as the Richard Harding Watt Italianate buildings, there are quite a few in and around Knutsford.

This is one of my favourite pics of the building:

What surprised me is how many buildings in a similar style there are in Knutsford (reverse image search lead me there). I'd looked at three contenders on Google maps before finding the right one (but didn't post because enjoyable as it is, this thread takes up a lot of time). Knutsford to me is just a place near the M6 that sounds kind of bland. I had no idea just how affluent it is

We see a lot of signs of affluence on our Cheshire forum ride***! There must be a lot of Premier League footballers living out there...
*** Which will be taking place again this year, subject to rail services running. I'll start thinking about that ride after the coming Garforth one has been completed. That itself is under threat from rail strikes.

Prestbury has the most millionaires per square mile outside of London.

that to me suggests the corner of Cumbria that used to be part of the west riding of Yorkshire; Sedbergh, Dent area. But i can't find it so I'm probably in the wrong bit of 'former Yorkshire'

Looks like it’s on the national cycling byway.

I've just learned that the Dunsop Bridge, Slaidburn and Barnoldswick area used be Yorkshire too. Everyday is a school day

You need to pay more attention as you are going over the Trough of Bowland...!I've just learned that the Dunsop Bridge, Slaidburn and Barnoldswick area used be Yorkshire too. Everyday is a school day

A couple of years ago I sold a frame to a bloke from Barnoldswick who hadn't accepted the change, and still called himself a Yorkshireman.
And it had a railway station until 1964.

It's vague but to me... this
looks like one of those narrowboat/canal tourist signs... so possibly near the Leeds/Liverpool canal too?
(still can't find it though)
