The west front of Salts Mill, opening on to Victoria Road, is the administrative block, where the offices, boardroom and Sir Titus Salt's private rooms were situated. It's only recently that I read somewhere that, when it was built in the 1850s, there was an archway, through which Sir Titus's horse-drawn carriage could pass into a courtyard at the rear. If that is true then you can see where it would have been, now filled in with the double doors.
Such a beautiful building!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful architecture.
ReplyDeleteI remember this stone bollard. It is at the end of a bridge ramp, and that is why it tilts.
ReplyDeleteI love these old building's architecture ! It's a pity that they are often replaced by these ugly glass boxes, at least here in Belgium !
ReplyDeleteIdon't get comments in my emails anymore. Do you know a solution ? Maybe I should also do a new blog.
Gattina, from what I've been reading, the number of comments on everyone's blogs has reduced. I think blogs have been overtaken by Instagram and other social media. It's just not a popular medium any more. I don't really mind as my blog is effectively my personal journal, for my own pleasure more than anything.
DeleteAlso, check your settings to make sure you still have the correct email address, if you have that option set. I don't get mine forwarded by email.
