This is Newdigate House on Castle Gate. It was built in the late 17th century and is presently a very posh restaurant called World Service. But in the 1700's it was used as a prison. The prisoner was a Marshal Tallard who was defeated during one of the many wars with the French. He was housed there and became a model prisoner. He is best remembered for introducing celery into the country and teaching people how to grow roses.
Great lighting - which catches the eye for the shot, Knowing you my friend - you would go for the perfect shot - which looks good - like sepia.
ReplyDeleteSlight dislike are the 2 lights near the bottom right corner - otherwise 1st class.
unlike the word verification which took me 4 goes at it.

ReplyDeleteHi Stewart, by the magic of iPhoto, the lights have now disappeared.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the new word verification process either. So I bet, does nobody else
Christopher 100% better shot now - its a beaut.
ReplyDeleteIve taken off word V and changed to comments on only 2 days posts, this way I can check if any spam come, as they mostly go on posts way back in time.
