Stiffleaf's photos

some of the earliest terraced housing, with a giant order of columns on its face, and a central passageway leading to the rear and to the entry to two of the houses inside the passage, directly onto the foot of the stairs.

view of the rear of the terrace from the back of the central passageway; the whole has a dutch feel.

this is the great hall of the archbishop of canterbury's london palace, a piece of our architectural heritage that is very difficult to access. you can queue for hours on open house day and still not get in: that's why this photo is taken over the wall. now if william burges' decoration of the chapel here hadn't been expunged by these religious philistines I'd really be upset at not being able to get in .bishops' palaces are one of the last great bastions of cultural selfishness left in the country.
