enchantedengland:    This is a local bank in Chester, England. MY bank does not look like this. As in, not the slightest little bit. I am going to print out this photo and show it to the bank manager, because he has some major renovations to do and he needs to get on it. (image JayT47 on beautyineverything.com)

enchantedengland:    Doorway to the Schola Moralis Philosophiae (School of Moral Philosophy) at the Bodleian Library, the main research library of the University of Oxford (Oxford, England) and one of the oldest libraries in Europe. Known to Oxford scholars as “Bodley” or “the Bod”, the Bodleian contains 11 million items within on 117 miles of shelving. Ohhhhhhh. **shuddering sigh** Talk about book lust! And look at that ancient studded door!! (zoomed in shot from a Wikimedia Creative Commons image) Sheer unadulterated bliss.

enchantedengland:    Oak Corner  in Rye, East Sussex, England. This is near the bottom of Mermaid Street, if you’re walking uphill; and Trader’s Passage branches off to your right. Oak Corner was originally built in the eleventh century, partially destroyed by the French-set fire of Rye in 1377, and rebuilt in 1490. It’s now privately owned by some jammy bastard very fortunate person.    See the little sign on the side that says TRADER’S PASSAGE? There’s a June 28th post of Trader’s Passage in the Archives and IT IS SO GORGEOUS. I am not making this up. Daves Portfolio (no apostrophe in Daves) on flickr Cheri’s use of “jammy bastard” wins tonight’s “most amazing things I’ve seen on my dash” contest tonight. I’m going to incorporate that into my lexicon of phrases post haste.

enchantedengland:     The Smallest House in Great Britain, also known as the Quay House, resides on the quay in Conwy(a walled market town on the north coast) Wales. Built in the 16th century, and inhabited until 1900, the residence is 3 metres by 1.8 metres (10 foot by 6 foot) in size. (You can visit for £2.50.) The Welsh lady stands outside most days, according to the sources I perused, although no one seems to know why. (image by LSessions on beautyineverything)

enchantedengland:   The studded medieval doors on the south side of Speke Hall, minutes from John Lennon Airport in south Liverpool (northwest England). Speke Hall is a breathtaking Tudor Manor House built from 1530-1598  and opulently restored; including four fully furnished-to- period bedrooms and a painstakingly reproduced Victorian kitchen and servant’s hall. You can peruse the gorgeous rooms here- Speke House     I couldn’t decide between this image and the full-frontal view so I’ll show that one later and tell you the haunted history of the Manor (you KNOW there’s gonna be a haunted history!) **image by lesley rigby on panoramio.com**
