3 minure exposure :0( hence the noise

 

[apoo..]

thats what i think we lack down south. such grand old buildings. generally i think theyve been flattened and beautiful housing estates built on them

Very nicely done Carlos.

I wonder if this place will be bought along with the nearby hall? I hope so because it is a lovely building.

@ sausage: i believe N.T are taking over the mausoleum as well as the hall so hopefully this will get restored to its former glory too :0)

Ive just been back there today and I see what you mean 'bout that crypt!! Ab-sol-ute-ly pitch black. Gave me the jitters even in bright sunshine.

Its a lovely building - some brilliant stonework (if you like that sort of thing) Scum vandals who have damaged it/grafittied it/left lager cans there make my blood boil though...

Really hope it gets renovated, at least its a Grade II (I think) listed building so hopefully it wont just get knocked down to build an estate or something...
