From the bottom of the steps to the roof, Gunby Hall. Phil & I had a drive out to this NT property, which we have visited many times. Did learn something from one of the house volunteers, that was new to us! Apparently when one of the sons lost a lot of the family’s fortune at the gambling tables , they sold off what was described as their front garden - some 6 miles of garden, ( though the buyer didn’t want all of that!)( I was thinking of a square of grass!) because the 9th Earl of Scarborough wanted to to create a Victorian seaside town - that creation was Skegness!! - Brits will have heard of it. Known locally, somewhat sarcastically as, “Skeg Vegas” locally, due to all the penny arcades!
@happypat no Scarborough was apparently something to do with Viking raiders, much much earlier than Skeg.
The Gunby land obviously stretched all the way to the coast - not a garden in the usual sense. I just thought it was a great way to describe it! 🤣
@carole_sandford Carole , I think the council are trying to make it more easy on the eye , the walk from the clocktower to the beach looks a lot better now , some of the 'chip shops / eating places' leave a lot to be desired
