Bell Street ~ Shaftesbury

Bell Street ~ Shaftesbury
A cottage along Bell Street in Shaftesbury, Dorset. I think the straw animals on the ridge of this thatch are cats!

Lots of lovely elements in this beautiful old building, Rosa: the thatched roof, the cats, the stonework, the brickwork and the chimney stacks. Cheers, Joe

Keith Burton club
Such a lovely looking cottage...........I particularly like the brickwork here.........I notice two styles which suggest they may have been done at different times (and the same different styles for the lower half of the ruling as well). The thatched roof with the cats is superb

An interesting and beautifully detailed shot Rosa.
21 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Many changes over the centuries I think Keith. I am pleased they have kept the thatched roofs and the cats are a nice addition. I can't remember seeing the cats before, and I have walked along this road many times over the years, but probably on the path in front of the houses, so I wouldn't have seen the cats :-)

Many thanks for your kind comments.

What a charming cottage! I'm glad you discovered it for us, Rosa :-) And yes, I think so too...the animals on the ridge are cats. They can't possibly be dogs ;-))
21 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
I wasn't sure what they were as I was walking towards them Edna, but I think they are definitely cats :-) In the early 1970's I often saw an elderly lady looking out of one of the windows and she always used to smile and give a little wave.

Toujours un plaisir de parcourir et d'admirer vos superbes rendus plus intéressants les uns que les autres..la capture principale représentant ce superbe chalet plus ou moins ancien aux vues des matériaux de la bâtisse est admirablement présentée et la deuxième est vraiment fascinante avec ces deux beaux chats.
Bonne et agréable fin de soirée.

Peter Castell club
At first glance I thought it was one building but it's obviously not, when you see buildings half stone half brick it makes me wonder if the upper floor was a later extension , I hope you have had a nice day Rosalyn, it's been a nice sunny day after the frost, I don't like this talk of snow. A bit of history for you tomorrow will be 42 years since John Lennon was killed
21 months ago. Edited 21 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Peter Castell club
I think there was originally a much lower thatch Peter and over the years the top half has been built up. The bottom Shaftesbury greenstone is quite expensive and I guess the bricks would have been much cheaper. Thanks for the reminder about John Lennon. I remember hearing about his murder so well. His birthday is two days after mine...I always remembered that too.
Have a nice evening and keep warm!

Love the cat-fight on the roof of this one Rosa. I imagine now photographed many times. Its quite surprising how there thatch roofs alter as time goes by as spoken about above. Dorset has many houses like this I think. Well done.

Cheers. Herb

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Herb Riddle club
hank you very much Herb. Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire have lots of thatched properties. I used to live near a village near Pewsey, Wilts, where all of the properties were thatched.
Cheers, Rosa.

Buena fotografía de esta casa de construcción tan singular y bonita. Gustos refinados. Fachada alternando piedra y ladrillo cara vista formando figuras y el piso superior con ese tejado que supongo muy apropiado al clima, con dos preciosos miradores y los cristales pequeños sobre puertas y ventanas blancas alegran la fachada. Sí, pensé que eran gatos. Saludos, Rosa.
