The StoneWork95 viewsThe don't build 'em like this anymore - none of your B&Q pressure treated wafer-thin timber fencing here... Oh no...
|
|
The Entrance98 views
|
|
Around The Back124 viewsThis must have been stunning at one point: opulent, elegant and homely.
It's still stunning of course, but in a very different way now!
|

The Stove86 views
|
|
The StoveTop88 viewsA closer look at the stove; again, not made like this anymore!
|
|
The Hook Corridor94 viewsInside the 'Hook Corridor'!
Our best guess, given the proximity to the pantry would be that these hooks were for hanging game and pheasant maybe.
Failing that, fuck knows!? There sure are a few of 'em!

The Piano95 viewsTotally seized. No music today kids!

The BallRoom1100 viewsAt one point, there must have been some stunning woodwork around a grand fireplace in this room... Long gone now though.

The Lit Doorway85 viewsMoving upstairs... So many doors!
|
|
The Room102 viewsInside one of the curvy rooms.
What happens, I wonder, when you build the wall for the door at this curvature? Do you throw a flat, straight door over it and ruin the effect?
|
|
The Bendy Door96 viewsNot in those days you didn't.
One perfectly bent door that aligns to the nearest CM (even now, with lack of use) to the wall it's hung on. They really don't make stuff like this anymore!
|
|
The Old Phone115 viewsAnother relic of the houses' glory days - a 'tube phone' to summon the maid / butler.
|
|
Glucose-D130 viewsSome powerful tonic and a non-powered alarm!
It's time to go... So nice to see how the other half once lived!
