Siobhan notes that this is a photo of her grandparents' house on the Peak (See http://new.gwulo.com/node/22016). Her grandparents were Vernon and Doris Walker.

Fivestar writes that:

According to the 1940 and 1941 jurors lists, Vernon Walker lived at 359 The Peak which was also known as Red Hill Nos 1 & 2.

But the photos of Red Hill (see http://gwulo.com/node/5185/photos) don't look like this building, so I think the photo is probably of another building.

I think this is Red Hill.  We are looking at the side view of the huge duplex, #1&2, not the front view. If you compare to the postcard from 1907, 35 years previously, It seems possible that the balcony was expanded during that time.  But if the map is correct, then this photo is flipped.
