Staincliffe and villas

What we know about this image :

Staincliffe House became a hotel and the villas privately owned. The structure to the top of the building was removed after storm damage and the lowlight was demolished in 1900.

By 1929 the house had been purchased to be used as a country club but was not licensed to sell alcohol until Vaux Breweries purchased the building in the very early 1940s. The conservatory was removed and a ballroom, with a sprung floor, was erected in its place. The whole roof was later lifted off and replaced on an added second floor. This was accomplished by the engineer Thomas M Stonehouse.
