Redknowe was built in 1876. Not sure about Arnish or Whitehill...but I'm fairly certain that Whitehill was built before 1876.
The field on this side of Redknowe is where "Longstop" is built. By the construction of it I think it went up in the 50's and was used as a Coastguard Officers home. I think it was named after the famous battle in 1943 "Longstop Hill" I'm sure someone will know. Not sure if I made that up or someone told me
The small row of cottages beyond Whitehill House were demolished in the sixties and a block of local authority houses was built on the site sometime in the 70's?
One of the original cottages was home to the Graham family one of whom was called Ned who drove the steam roller for the old County Council. His turned up at the toes tackety boots were something to behold and I'm sure I'm not the only one to remember them. I have never seen a pair of boots like them since
There is not a lot in the picture to go by. I know that was a well at one time. As you say possibly for horses?
By the ladies dress your dates could be right.
The haystack builder must have been off the day they built the ones in the picture though.
