This classic example of Tudor-style black and white timber and plaster designs seemed a good choice for Becky’s October Squares as this month’s theme is Lines&Squares.

Well, I never. Turton Tower. Just down t’road from our Ellie.
It’s a small world 🙂
Indeed, we passed it this morning ….
What an amazing building.
It’s funny to see how different generations added something else on, not necessarily in the same style. I like the Dutch gable as much as the black and white part, but I’m sure it would not have occurred to me.
Lovely building.
It looks well maintained too.
What a beautiful building!
It has lots of interesting details.
Perfect for the challenge and so interesting!
It’s funny what happens to the pattern in the corner – the convention must be to work outwards from the windows.
Lines and squares indeed! I followed the link to the Turton Tower website and was stopped cold in my reading where it said that someone had used this as a “weekend retreat.” Very hard to wrap my brain around that. Apparently I’m not doing my weekends properly at all. It certainly is a beauty!
Me neither… though perhaps we don’t know the cares that they were retreating from.
I wonder what it looks like inside.
I haven’t been inside, so far as I can remember. Outside there is a bluebell wood (in season, an ordinary wood at other times), and a quite extensive community garden.
Good choice
Thanks, Derrick.
