I thought people might enjoy this rather bonkers house. Imagine being the poor devil who had to hang that front door....never was the phrase 'measure twice, cut once' more apt! No surprises that this place is called 'The Crooked House'. Its myriad of angles are down to one of its internal chimneys apparently, but fear not for the whole building has been stabilised by a metal brace.
This was a recent flying visit I made to Canterbury with my friend Jo. We were meeting a mutual friend for a long overdue catch-up over lunch. There was much chatting to be done and exploring was not the order of the day. Before we left though Jo and I did get the chance to take a quick spin round the cathedral precinct which is usually only available to those who have parted with their £17 entry fee. At the moment though it's housing part of the Christmas market so we got to have a nose round the outside for free. Have a great weekend folks.

Now that really is a crooked house - how strange
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous wonky building and thanks for explaining those weird rounded bits on the iron bridge (which makes me want to sing that Smiths song!) There's a Georgian building, an old shop, on the corner of a main road in Walsall with something similar, I've been pondering on it for years, thank you!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend. xxx
I do wonder what it's like inside ... xxx
