I'm stuck too!  Nowhere can I find an octagonal/hexagonal battlemented tower like that!  I though the old building looked like a school, seem to be kids being picked up and that huge wooden notice board on the wall seemed to indicate a school.  But can't find an old school/priory/monastic building which matches so far!

Found it I think - that tower looks like it belongs to Durham Castle, right shape with the squared off column corners!

Here's the front of the building that I thought was a school - see the notice boards?

Looking at some other images of Durham Castle I would say that's right, never been there but it is a University city, so the old building being part of the college would be about right.

And if you look at the "end" of the road in this one it matches the larger archway  shown in the one above with the tower, even the notice board matches! Smile
