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 . . .
