Bachelorhood of Malcolm Smith - photos of cottage

The interior of the cottage at 44 Manor Road, Verwood prior to refurbishment.

		Looking in through the front door. The walls are made of matchboard [tp-E/012]

		Looking back down the staircase. The hall floor is quarry tiles as was the adjacent parlour on the left. [tp-E/013]

		In the living room looking towards the hall. The ceiling is matchboard and the beam is just decorative. [tp-E/011]

		The living room fireplace. This wall had been rebuilt in recent times. The flooring at that end was also replaced. The story was that lightning had struck the chimney. [tp-E/009]

		Window in the new wall in the living room. [tp-E/010]

		In the parlour looking towards the hall. [tp-E/019]

		The fireplace in the parlour. This has obviously been rebuilt and Malcolm was interested to know what was behind the new brickwork but never ventured to find out. [tp-E/017]

		The door on the left of the fireplace in the parlour leads into the dining room. [tp-E/018]

		In the parlour looking at the cubby-hole unbder the staircase. The door on the right leads to the kitcken. See how much the walls are out of true. [tp-E/015]

		This door used to be the external back door but now leads to the kitcken in the new extension. Note the hole in the boarding exposing woodrot. [tp-E/014]
