Binnegar Hall today. I was able to find out that it is an Elizabethan Manor house, built in about 1857. It is now owned by Purbeck Care Limited and is used as a residential care facility for adults with learning disabilities. I contacted Purbeck Care and their Senior Administrator, Diane Price was very helpful and provided some information about the facility that her father had told her. She also provided some leads for more information and an invitation to visit. A special thank you to Diane!

Maj. Russell Newbury on right, standing at Brenner, a small town approx. 18.5 miles from Innsbruck, which was the official border between Austria and Italy. Monument is labeled "Brennero Brenner" which is also designating its position along the Brenner Pass. Brenner Pass (Italian: Passo del Brennero; German: Brennerpass) is a mountain pass through the Alps along the border between Italy and Austria, and is one of the principal passes of the Alps. It is the lowest (1,370 m) and easiest of the Alpine passes, and one of the few in the area. For that reason possession of the pass has long been coveted. Photo courtesy of the Russell H. Newbury family.
