Bessingham Manor - collapsed staircase
Image: © Evelyn Simak Taken: 27 Feb 2011
View up the partially collapsed staircase towards the skylight window of this ruined 19th century manor house. Stepping into a time capsule. Nothing appears to have changed since the 1950s, all rooms were heated by fireplaces, the old Aga is still in the kitchen, surrounded by kitchen paraphernalia, handpumps in the skullery provided the water supply. Looking upwards through the collapsed floors is almost like looking into a doll's house that has had its floors removed.
