Kensington The old picture house, Thorne

Chapter 6: Making it a home · 7 September 2013

Great photos

Rooms & details · Family

Dan Sumption, my friend, took some great photos of our house!

This is the house finished. Not the diary of the build — the rooms, the garden, the hydropool, the Crapper, the bits we lived in once the scaffolding was down. It is the most accurate record we have of how Kensington looked when the work was done.

The old Facebook album is gone. The photographs are here.

Thanks Dan!!!
