The title says it all, I think. Haddon Hall is a stately home in Derbyshire, near Bakewell. As the family did not use the hall for the majority of the 18th and 19th centuries it avoided modernisation, and as a result has many early features surviving such as the panelling and painted ceiling in this room.

A view down the valley near Hartington when we went for a long walk. Zeiss Ikon Nettar. I had forgotten what film was in the camera and was metering for ISO 400 when it was actually ISO 50!
