The Gazebo and the Woodcutters cottage

[Infraredd]

The Gazebo, Ecton Hall Estate.
A summerhouse dating, according to Pevsner, from the late C17. Located amongst woodland in the grounds of Ecton Hall. The only photograph on the net was taken in the mid-1970s when The Gazebo (as it is known locally) was still in good condition. Its present state is as follows.
I originally went mid week in the afternoon - couldn't find the folly, found the Woodcutters Cottage and photographed that first.
As I was making my way further into the woods I saw 2 blokes in wellies standing by a big 4 x 4 so I split.
Couldn't have that so I went back on the full moon to try some customised modifications on a flash unit.
This time I found it and a pheasant run/ hatchery. Lived near one of these once. The people that ran that one used to eviscerate foxes and string them up on fences. They also killed our cat.
Glad I saw them before they saw me!

Woodcutters Cottage - all I know about this place is that it is here. You can't make it out on the Google sat map!

Lovely stuff as ever.Wouldn't mind that gazebo in the back garden would be one up on the neighbours patio.Don't know what the brick pits are but the metal behind looks like the remains of an old belt driven bench saw which would explain the big circular saw blades

something like this
