Steps up from the Terrace to the Chapel. This is part of a series taken whilst working there, and notes and history will be added later; I worked with PAS Pool on the history.
Same here, pzpirate. I have a folder for the Mount myself, working there as I do if Treeve doesn t mind me referring to it here where he has some fascinating pics himself.
I would certainly like to have a few gaps filled in of the Mount s history as many historical facts are shrouded in the mists of time. I expect you have seen the NT s survey carried out in the late 90s, Treeve. If not you are welcome to take a look when possible.
PAS Pool had reference to the documents, but I had to offer advice on the development of the castle itself, as to just how that fitted in the records. I had a set of plans which I had drawn; I had hoped that I had rescued them, but I have not yet found them; unfortunately they were copied to be used in publications, but the copies are incorrect; so much to find, so much to do. Bear with me while I get more pictures together and info.
Thank you, I would very much like to see that survey, there is no single part of the Mount that I have not been in, and that includes actually in the walls themselves when they were strengthened.
Treeve s last comment makes me feel envious; seeing all of that magical place. Thought I was lucky when taken to parts not open to the public when I last visited home in the 90s
I would not be too envious, if I were you ... HSE was not even considered then. Some situations were actually life threatening, but we needed information and details. It was the same on any historic building, some areas of insides of roofs and subfloor spaces are like potholing, and heaven forbid a large waistline.
