Vacant house, Holywood (1)
This vacant and boarded-up house is “Brook House”, 17 Croft Road. I was able to download the agents’ brochure which shows it occupied and looking exceptionally desirable. The brochure describes it, inter alia, as “Set well back from Croft Road on an extensive site ‘Brook House’ oozes character and has retained many of its original features including: cornice ceilings, ornate centre roses, panelled doors, high ceilings, sash windows and storm shutters”. Whatever the story it now has a “sold” sign Image

Twisel Bridge, Holywood
Bridge over the charmingly named Twisel Burn in Holywood.
Although taken on a reasonably bright summer afternoon I had to employ the flash here - the surrounding trees are so dense that most natural light is blocked out - it was so dark that street lamps alongside the bridge appear to be constantly switched on.
A stone nearby records that the bridge and it's approach were constructed in 1912 as a memorial to Richard Patterson "who for many years took an active part in every good work in Holywood".
The bridge and the connecting path alongside Twisel Burn run from Victoria Road to Church Avenue. Sadly, the whole area appears very neglected now. Despite the location in an affluent and historic area of Holywood it is abound with graffiti and litter.
