A GRAND ENTRANCE..

The piers at the start of the drive that led to Wanstead House still stand, they can be found at the junction of Overton Drive and Blake Hall Road. With the volume of traffic that pass by now it's difficult to imagine grand carriages progressing along the drive to the house. The piers are still in good condition although some of the carvings are faded, it's worth stopping though to have a close up look.

ARCHITECTURAL GEMS.

Looking up again I came across this lovely stained glass window in The Corner House.  Recently refurbished it houses a community centre and guess what an architect, Jason Harris of T-Space Architects. This window has a secret, it only truly comes to life as it is getting dark outside and the lights inside shine through showing the beautiful colours of the glass.  

Keep watching for more "little gems".
