Fountains Hall

First, I apologise now for the overload of photos, but I got a little carried away taking photos of this beautiful building.

These photos are a mixture of LC-A and Zenit-B photos, you can really see the difference a light meter makes I think and also the effect that over exposing has on the Lomography 400 iso film - again some of the photos have a distinctively orange tinge to them but even sat next to the auto exposed LC-A photos, I still really like them.  You can also really see the texture that the Zenit B gives photos when you compare the two cameras, I still haven't figured out exactly what does this but I think its the shutter fabric...

Is it weird that this building took my breath away a little? I think this photo above really captures how grand and striking it looked in the sunshine.

Fountains Hall dates from around 1600 and is built partly with stone from the Abbey ruins. Although only a couple of rooms were open to the public, it was definitely worth a look around.

Around Wells House

The buildings in Ilkley were some of my favourites that I've seen, which is why I took so many photos of them, they capture Yorkshire so well I think, especially the darker brick.

Wells House (above) was designed by Cuthbert Broderick, the man responsible from three of the most iconic buildings in Leeds, The Town Hall, The Corn Exchange and also the Leeds Museum building (which I need to photograph), so it was fun to see another building by the same architect outside of Leeds.

Wells House is now residential and I couldn't help but admire the surrounding buildings as well and how they compared to the more dramatic architecture.
