Tyneham (part 2)


The other place I spent a considerable amount of time was the old school house. Some of the original fixtures and details had been retained.

And the desks had some beautifully hand-painted pictures on them.

The building had a quiet calm about it, as well as a touch of sadness, somehow.



Nelly seemed to make herself at home there though.



Here's what's on my workbench tonight - glass all cut and ready for leading-up (for the front door at the former doctor's surgery)

  8. wow, i didn't know about tyneham. so interesting, must be a pretty ghostly place. love those musty books. funny how we've done similar posts - when i was at w. plumb i tried to imagine what it would have been like 100 years ago, bustling with customers. so strange.
