The StoneWork94 viewsThe don't build 'em like this anymore - none of your B&Q pressure treated wafer-thin timber fencing here... Oh no...

The Entrance97 views
|
|
Around The Back121 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 Stove85 views
|
|
The StoveTop86 viewsA closer look at the stove; again, not made like this anymore!
|
|
The Hook Corridor93 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 BallRoom198 viewsAt one point, there must have been some stunning woodwork around a grand fireplace in this room... Long gone now though.

The Lit Doorway83 viewsMoving upstairs... So many doors!

The Room101 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 Door94 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 Phone114 viewsAnother relic of the houses' glory days - a 'tube phone' to summon the maid / butler.
|
|
Glucose-D129 viewsSome powerful tonic and a non-powered alarm!
It's time to go... So nice to see how the other half once lived!
