Green Hill

After the chaos and frenzy of Ikea on a Sunday - with the obligatory meatballs - I needed to go somewhere peaceful so I could enjoy being quiet and listen to rustle of the last remaining leaves on the trees.  

Whitefield House was built in 1805 by Edward Barlow, a nankeen cloth manufacturer, and was originally named "Green Hill". However,  from 1933 to 1974 it was Whitefield Town Hall and the south facade of the building is all that remains after arsonists, vandals and planning bureaucracy all took their toll on the property.

Quote for today:
People's personalities, like buildings, have various facades. Some pleasant to view, some not.
