I know that loads of people have posted this before, but heres my swing of it. I did most of my shots on manual (which is a first for me) as i wasnt allowed to use a flashgun. I quite like been given a challenge, and i was pleased with my manual skills.

Well done on getting some photos from here as the old curator is up his own arse and a jobs worth who won't let anyone take photos - I guess it was the old gits day off, I had to go round sneaking photos and arguing with the :wanker

Lucky me! The curator was a young woman who was dead interested in my post restoration, she let me wander round by myself, photocopied loads of papers/forms for me, wrote my name down so if they get offered any equipment they dont need they can offer it to me :)

Yes lucky you, that's great she took the time and made the effort to help you. It is a shame with English Heritage that it can be so hit and miss with the staff.

Youve done a quality job with the place, getting photos in there isnt easy.

Dammit, You beat me to it!

It was shut when I went, and this place defeated even my Level 9 Urbex Ninjah skillz...

Nice Photos, I must once more drive to York to see this...
