Beedingwood
New Wing (Kitchen)
We enter via the extension built to provide new kitchen space and after the removal of the upper floor is little more than a shell. This building is now the roost of dozens of pigeons, most of which narrowly avoid throwing themselves against walls, girders and occasionally people in an effort to get out whenever someone moves or makes a noise.
L-R: The dark and empty shell of the kitchen, Tradesmen's entrance and kitchen stores, Stranded fire escape and floor tiles.
L-R: Kitchen, The photographer takes a break from photographing to be photographed, a store cupboard and the gutted upper storey
L-R: Upper floor Windows, The ceiling, Two types of peeling paint and another store room.
Round Room
The round room is a most unsual sort of structure. Set on the north-east corner of the house, this was used as a dining room by the instute and had a mural of nineteenth century town scenes painted between the picture rail and the upper windows. This has long gone but two interesting murals have been painted here since the place was abandoned, one showing Beedingwood as it looked prior to the collapse of the upper front room.
L-R: Ceiling, Top to bottom, How it used to look and the double doors to the front lawn.
