Tintagel House
Image: © Jonathan Clitheroe Taken: 14 Jul 2010
This Victorian mansion was originally built by one of Sheffield's industrial magnates but has been put to a variety of uses over the past half-century after the last private owner bequeathed the property to anthroposophical purposes. The house is managed by the Freeman College who work with young adults with autism and other related difficulties, while promoting the teachings of Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner. It was Steiner himself who suggested to Arnold Freeman that the original name 'Meadow Bank House' be changed to the more community-friendly Tintagel House. A friend of mine was the acting housekeeper here at the time of posting, meanwhile the Merlin Theatre (situated behind the foliage to the right of shot) was closed for refurbishment.
