All the following photographs taken with Lumix LX3 on pinhole camera setting.
Some of the very old documents lying around on the table
Organ details - it was a beautiful instrument
Looking up through the kitchen ceiling!
This is how dilapidated much of the house has become
The amazing old hand pump in the scullery
They thought this would keep us out ............... wrong!
All that remained of the second set of stairs
Ground floor looking up
The main staircase
One of the very dilapidated upstairs floors

Going down?
This upstairs corridor was lethal - there was a
strong possibility of ending up downstairs
without having to use the ladder to get there
Looking down
Mark photographing the organ
More organ details - it was too good to resist
lovely set honey!
ReplyDeleteI really don't know why, but I found myself in a highly emotional state looking at these images Viveca. I really appreciate how you and Mark took such great care to ensure that we'd all have photos of this place and such wonderful ones at that. You both were in extreme danger during this shoot, this is obvious. My heart is broken for this home, especially with all the artifacts left behind... I can almost hear the whisper of voices from days gone by in your work.
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning V - love the Aga especially, and the attic with the lumpy bed is very poignant. Good to see you back here as well. C x x x
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for looking and commenting, apologies for my late response, have only just seen your remarks awaiting moderation (I don't use this blog as much as I used to) - will have to see if I can set it up to email me when comments await my attention.
ReplyDeleteI found the photos fascinating! The time that is reflected on every thing, and the so much history behind it... Great post!
