At Guildford#4 & A Cat

 

 

Back at the Guildford-hotel , it was established in 1885-86- you find it´s history here (with photo-gallery).

In 2008 a fire destroyed huge parts of the hotel, only in 2016 the local community started a fierce campain to safe this historical place.

The bricks were handmade by convicts.  I like how they left the debris..

 

 

Grace showed me around. I am afraid of heights and weeee....

Upstairs you find this cozy place ...

 

They didn´t rebuild the floor - means loss of  seating, but makes the place special (I could not go too near, though).

 More  to come.

Did you know that the first color televisions hit American stores in late September 1951? The technology was primitive and few could afford the luxury. However, in the following decade, color television became standard in many households and sales boomed."
