Wikipedia tells us:  “The ruin of Tabley Old Hall (more properly known as Nether Tabley Old Hall) is located on an island surrounded by a moat in the civil parish of Tabley Inferior, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the west of Knutsford, Cheshire, England. The ruin is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building, and the moated site on which it stands is a scheduled monument.”  This is a card from the Palatine Pictorial “Old Halls” series, mailed in 1905 and the stamp and postmark are there.  Old in every way.  Grade: 3
