Assistance re identifying this photo

Have been asked if anyone knows where this photo is of. Person who sent it to me said it was a family photo and the only farm they knew connected to family was Rustlings Road Farm. Any ideas?

The Friends of Porter Valley Newsletter no.59 has a photo of Rustlings Farm for comparison (if you can find a copy).  Apparently Sheffield Wednesday had their HQ there at one point.  Competitive Lawn Tennis was also played there, in 1886, but they must have moved the cattle out of the way...

 

See Bayleaf's post her for a picture (by Henry Tatton):

Good call steveHB, its the first time i have seen this old photo of Greenhill Hall.

There is a sketch of just about the same scene minus the pump,trough,and cows in the book Chantrey Land by Harold Armitage c1910.

When a youngster along with my mates we explored(played) in the farm yard when know one was around, though don`t remember the pump being there.

By the late1950s the Hall was used by Sheffield Corporation to house tenants, probably the last family to be housed was the Clarksons and their young son Austin.

The Hall was pulled down some time in the mid 60s, the outbuildings turned into a maintenance depot for the PWD.
