Nostalgia

Someries Castle 1897
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I used to play here when I was a child of 11. We used to run and down that wonderful spiral staircase and read all the names and dates that people had scratched on the brick work over the centuries on the first floor. This was back in 1951. I used to go back every year to see the old place. The last time I saw it was in 2010. Terrible damage had been done to the building, sucj a shame, and that damn airport coming closer and closer. I must be one of the few people still alive who have been to the cellar! The owners of the building (Luton HOO) should hang their heads in shame at the condition of this wonderful building...
