HWW ~ Ye olde Sawmill

Happy Wednesday Wall from Dunham Massey in Greater Manchester. This wonderful park features a country house with 3000 acres of parkland filled with deer and beautiful gardens. Here we see within the very old woodland an old 1860’s saw-mill. The building itself is considered to be around 400 years old and originally functioned as a corn mill.
The PiP shows the old water wheel inside through the very dirty window.

Enjoy the day.

Herb Riddle replied to gezginruh:

Hi Füsun. Good to see you here. No it is not used but it is open to visitors at some restricted times. It was closed yesterday when we were there. To get to see inside I had to use a low small window at the side of the building and it was full of dust and spiders webs on the inside. It was quite dark inside and so a very slow shutter speed used as I quickly snapped not noticing that I was still on F11. - Glad you liked it.

HWW -enjoy the week. Herb

A beautiful country house, leaded glass, large millstones as decoration. The newer brickstones do not please the eye everywhere - but it'#s better than decay - I leaved in my grand-grandparents house from 1903 - I know these stones very well.
A beautiful house - worthwhile to keep it in shape and use it! Stunning picture!
