Again. Something totally different. No sea in sight.

People didn't generally live so long back in the 'good old days!'

No ghosts, but once all the lights went out when the power tripped, one guest confessed that when they plugged in a travel iron, all the lights in the hotel went out.

Another hotel was a maze until I discovered that it was originally two hotels next to each other.  Then one bought the other.  On the ground floor they knocked through the dividing walls creating a large restaurant,  but upstairs it was still two separate hotels with separate lifts and stairs and different numbering systems.

Have you seen any ghosts?

I also love old Hotels where the wooden steps are uneven and creak, the rooms are almost in-between floors. And the whole place is a maze with illogical numbering of rooms.

Old beams look nice, but I always worry about banging my head.

I'm also unconvinced by these buildings with double height "voids", what happens when you get a spider?

That’s nice! I love old buildings like that too — wiggly walls out of alignment and history yet to be fully uncovered.

I wonder if anything has been hidden within the walls. 

Happy Friday!

I also love old buildings because they are full of character.  I also like 1960s brutalisist architecture. 

Here are some from this week.

University of Leeds.

Nottingham. 

Agree I love these old timber framed buildings Warwick and Stratford have a few. I did once say in a B and B in Warwick many years ago that was one of them. It can be disorienting as nothing is level, some rooms are like those weird fairground things I forget the name? Was a strange place overall….anyway I do like an old building of character…castles have always been one of my interests….
