 
The photograph on the right shows the front of Thorp
Green Hall, taken from somewhere near the main entrance gates
(that we saw a little earlier) (these pictures - late 1800s).
The photograph below shows the rear of the hall, and on the extreme
right (in this picture) is the 'east wing' of the building. Anne's
bedroom is believed to have been in this east section of the house
(just as Agnes' is), and would have been at the far-side, overlooking
an ornamental pond - which we shall see shortly.
The
long wall on the right is the only remaining part of Thorp Green
Hall, and, of course, the building extended beyond those large trees
on the extreme right. This wall was almost certainly part of the
'east side-wall' of the building, and, as already mentioned, was
the wing that contained Anne's (and Agnes') bedroom, which would
have overlooked this ornamental pond. Not too far beyond the left-hand
side of the pond is the boundary wall behind which runs 'Moss Hill
Lane' - more about this lane later! Let's
now make our way across to the tall tree at the far side of the
pond and look back this way . . .
