More about this scene
This photograph shows the back of the late-Victorian rectory which became the home of the writer George Bernard Shaw from 1906 until his death in 1950, at the age of ninety-four. Owned by the National Trust, the building houses a number of literary relics, which these visitors have come to peruse. Photographs taken twenty years earlier show this aspect of the building heavily festooned in creepers, which have clearly been severely pruned.
