Waddesdon Manor
Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild wanted an estate where he could escape London in the summer months to entertain family and friends for weekend house parties. In 1874 he came into an inheritance and purchased a bare agricultural estate in Buckinghamshire. The foundation stone for the house was laid in 1877 and six years later, in 1883, the house was completed surrounded by a beautiful landscape. Running water for the house was provided from the start and electricity was provided in 1889.
In 1957 James de Rothschild bequeathed Waddesdon to the National Trust and in 1959 it was opened to the public. It is managed by the Rothschild Foundation on behalf of the National Trust.
Waddesdon Manor is some 8 miles from home and it normally takes me roughly 20 minutes to get there. However, there are extensive HS2 works (high speed rail link initially from London to Birmingham) taking place on the approach to Waddesdon so I am always expecting to be held up by traffic lights :-)
The first stage between London and Birmingham is due to be competed by December 2026 so there may, at some point in the distant future, be an opportunity to photograph some trains :-)

Roger Bennion club has replied to Andy Rodker clubAndy Rodker club has replied to Roger Bennion clubI had to get from Luton Airport (which meant that it was an EasyJet flight from memory) to Pinner, ie mainline, then Metropolitan line out to Metroland! Well I don't think I've yet recoverd from the shock of the cost. I had been used to 1980s prices (Red Ken subsidies I suppose) and lack of quality in the services but although I had to say the service was good and the trains and stations clean, I spent almost my entire holiday money before I even set foot in Cornwall!

Roger Bennion club has replied to Ecobird club"Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild wanted the exterior of the house to be in the style of the French Renaissance châteaux of the Loire valley and engaged a French architect, Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur."
Thank you very much for complimenting my photo. Wishing you a lovely Sunday.
