Tranby Croft, Victorian country house in Anlaby, England.

The yellow brick mansion features a three-story Italianate design with a nine-bay frontage and ashlar dressing throughout its exterior walls.

Completed in 1876 for shipping heir Arthur Wilson, the estate gained notoriety in 1890 during a scandal involving card games with the Prince of Wales.

The mansion represents the social status of Victorian-era shipping magnates, with its 72-foot tower built for monitoring vessel movements.

The property now functions as Tranby School, an independent educational institution offering programs for students in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

The estate contained a large private swimming facility that was made available to all Tranby residents during its residential period.
