There's lots of pretty little buildings in Morden Hall Park, but perhaps my favourite is this little cottage with a big chimney. It's rather charmingly referred to as ‘The Bothy’ and was used to house the more lowly estate workers. Does anyone else know any more about it?

October 1960: Southern Region 'H' class 0-4-4T No. 31551 waits patiently for the road at Paddock Wood, with a Hawkhurst branch train in the bleak dampness of a typical Kent Autumn. This lovely little branch line closed on 12 June 1961

I'm feeling a bit sad today. I'd hoped we might be able to help rescue this lovely old place in Crowland (Lincs) but it's now clear that's not going to work. I envy whoever ends up with it. I don't think I've ever spent time in a more fascinating or hugely special house.
