Scotney is the only identifying detail here, and it is a place name that the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card, with no confirmation of its accuracy. The name most often points to Scotney Castle, a moated medieval manor in Kent, England, but nothing in the available information establishes that this plate shows it. The Bain News Service was a New York photo agency whose glass negatives, made from about 1900 into the 1920s, recorded news events, people, and places for newspapers, so this plate reflects the working methods of that era.
