Snaps of the Pleasaunce ……..

In the summer of 1979 armed with a new camera I wandered across Well Hall snapping at all I saw.

Looking at them again today l have to admit that they weren’t the best and the colour ones have not survived well sitting in our cellar for over four decades.

But they are a record of where I grew up and given that it was 46 years ago some at least now have a period feel.

So while I can recognise the places it is like looking through a dirty window …… you can vaguely make out the building or the scene, but its indistinct and a tad different.

Not so the Pleasaunce, which pretty much looks the same as when I wandered around it in the 1960s, and again in the 80s’ and 90s.

True the floral gardens will have changed a bit, but otherwise it’s the Pleasaunce, a place whose history I have explored over the years.

And that is it.
