A lovely photo! It reminds me of the rear aspect of the house that the
Vernes rented in Chantenay from about 1840.
But are you sure that it's in copyright? If Mr Simpson is claiming
ownership, that would seem to involve contacting both the inheritors and the
descendants of the photographer.

Here is an image of the Black Anchor Tavern, visited by Verne and Hignard
with the Reverend Smith at Crombie Point in 1859 where they recovered from
the rain and wind of their sail from Edinburgh. The Copyright belongs to
Eric Simpson and the image was supplied to me by Kerr Doig who is organising
the Verne celebrations of Verne's visit to Oakley.
