A Visit To Allanbank

[endlessrarities]

And in case you're wondering what we were doing before we went climbing up to Alcock Tarn, then here's the answer...

Once again, we did the tourist thing, this time visiting a National Trust property.  As you can well imagine, the area around Grasmere is stuffed full of National Trust properties, usually connected in some way with William Wordsworth

Thanks for an interesting post. I don't know of any other building where you can see it in the "before" state. It would be fascinating to visit again once they've made progress with the restoration.

It might be interesting to leave one room unrestored, as a sort of before-and-after display. Thanks for this look at a remarkable building.

I couldn't have written on the walls either - what would Wordsworth have thought??

I so agree with you about the writing on the walls. Your photos make me itch for a paint brush though! I do hope this interesting house is restored one day.
