I have visited Ridge farm and this is definitely Ridge Farm. The building behind them is the house where Randy, Bob, and Lee were staying during the session. Ozzy, Sharon, and Engineer Max Norman were housed in other buildings on the Farm.

Thanks for the link Shaun. They actually stopped being a fully equipped studio in 2002

Which is dissapointing because all of the original equipment used for mixing the blizzard album is now gone

. Some lucky guy has got some real special equipment!
