Thank you for sharing these photos. Like you, I have an affection for places time seems to have forgotten, and I could spend untold hours poring over the pictures, peering into spaces seldom seen.

I have to say, though, that if I came upon that waxwork of Charles II in the half-light of Westminster Abby, unexpected, I’m sure I would shriek. He looks so mournful, floating there. A spectre, indeed!

I treasure these old images — every one. The dome-within-dome pic totally blew my doors off….a banquet of
conical beauty. I look forward to this infusion of fascination every morning, and am most
grateful.

Lots of good housekeeping here to preserve these pics for posterity. Poet John
