Bus shelter on Linton Hill
Linton Hill is the busy A229 and it is necessary to wait for a gap in the traffic to take a photograph like this. Beyond the bus shelter is Linton Park and its house, seen just to the left of the shelter.
In the 1730s Robert Mann built a house which was two-storeyed on the north side and three-storeyed on the south side. Horace Walpole described it at the time as "like the citadel of Kent with the whole county as its garden". Shortly before 1829 a third storey was added by Thomas Cubitt and a balustraded terrace was added to the south front. The whole was then stuccoed and painted white. Pevsner describes it: "The effect is as if a section of Carlton House Terrace has been transferred to the hills."
For more information on the history of the house see D Gore's write up at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/893507
