Restoration Nightmare.

This poor old building looks sad enough, even if it is occupied and standing.

This follows on from Gibbo's thread, about lime mortar. Check out the brick infill, in the timber framing, which would have been wattle and lime mortar render.

Also the 'modern' brick rebuild of half the frontage.

Oh well, at least some if it's good.

Re: Restoration Nightmare.

I suppose the Pub makes up for it though. I thinks it's called 'The Red Lion'.

Re: Restoration Nightmare.

Oh.....I came across this little place, just down the road a wee bit.

I thought about knocking on the door, and see if there was a cup of tea going, but I thought better of it.
