I shot this picture earlier today in the wash house at Dunham Massey in Cheshire. This was the part of the estate where the beer for the household was brewed and in later years it became the workshop for maintaining carriages and the estates vehicles.
I like the industrial feel of this picture with the strong lines, angles and shadows. I wasn't sure what the structure is but after a little research I believe it is an extending ladder or scaffold. It was made by Heathman & Co of Parson's Green in London who were makes of ladders at the turn of the 20th century.
It seems fitting to share this image today because Parson's Green was in the news this morning and as a shout out to everyone affected by the events there.
