Old McDonalds Farm (November 2013)

Old McDonalds Farm, visited with Banshee, nice to meet you at last!

Well.... what to say about this place.... it's an old farm and attached house and it's somewhere that for whatever reason hasn't really been explored in the past, despite being connected to a well known location and no doubt many of you may recognise the place.

It was nice to see a farm with a difference, the architecture and design of the buildings were not of your normal type. It's almost as if it was designed by an architect who would normally design buildings of a different nature, indeed the arched doorways reminded me very much of a church for some reason....



















































Thanks for looking folks! Theres also a full gallery of all the photos on my site at

I’ll be interested to read what others have to say about this place but I think its got a lot of age to it, ace pics, I loved the fire surround on the ground floor. Many Thanks.

Oooh I like that a lot. Yeah I agree smiler it's very old school farming, pre war I'd say. Not modernised at all.

Thanks Zero.

It is a pre war building yes

thanks for that link, but unfortunately thats not why the architecture is different. Its specific to this location and the architect in question

If its next to a famous college then I think it's the building we all thought of not bothering. Looks alright to be fair

Really like that!
Great pics
Thanks..

How comes?

Very nice that. Certainly looks more churchy than farmy on those exterior shots. Thanks for sharing.

this place has a tonne of vibes coming from it, cheers for sharing

The stables look Georgian/early Victorian.Great report your right the brown tiled fire surround is a belter.

Well this post has caught the interest of many of us, the iron pillars certainly look 19th century as Olldscrote pointed out, a nd I May well be wrong with my supposition about the reuse of the Windows. Great post Zero,Thanks Again.
