I was asked a few of questions about the Slaughterhouse in the Deer Park at Dunham Massey.
These images are from last April... hence all the green leaves.
If this post makes no sense please scroll down and read the last few...
The Slaughterhouse in the Deer Park at Dunham Massey.
The building is old...really really old!... it was built in 1740.
The interior has information boards.....
....showing and telling it's history.
I hope this cropped image is large enough for you to read.... click on the image to make it bigger.
The park is large and the deer can wander around most of the estate.
People are asked to stay clear of a big chunk of the park......the deer do get some peace.
Dunham Massey is a wonderful place to visit.
Hi Andrew, that seems to be a lovely place to visit, beautiful photos. And it was possible to read that sign perfectly. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Day!

ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
it certainly does look like an interesting visit Andrew. Love the 'greens'. Was able to read the signage fine and noted about the possibility of louvre windows for air circulation on the hung carcasses. Nice photos; thanks for sharing

Okay, you'll laugh at this...I did. I am really working at reading the sign inside the slaughter house, then when done I scroll down further and see you've placed a photo of the sign! Duh! Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place to visit, Andrew. Nice photos; particularly like the deer shot.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos. Beautiful place to visit.

Hi Andrew, I have had a very enjoyable time catching up on your posts just now. What a super place this is, very interesting and love the old buildings. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeletegelding (gilting) the deer is something i hadn't thought of before, but i suppose that made the meat much more pleasant for his lordship's table. :)
ReplyDeleteDelightful very old building and history. The Deer Park must be a wonderful place to ramble and relax.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, Andrew, but the story of Marbury Hall broke my heart. What a shame that such a wonderful place should be allowed to fall into ruin.
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose that this is the slaughterhouse that was used in the movie "The Queen", but it definitely reminds me of it. Very nice and glad you posted some more on this. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the bit of history about it...
ReplyDeleteNice info and great photos.
ReplyDeleteI love that massive tree in the last photo. What is it?
It is always interesting to me how deer look different in various parts of the country and world.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that nobody in China would spend any time in remembering a slaughter house~~
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew, thanks soooooo much for stopping by in Perth. I have just spent the last ten minutes looking at your photo's. Bliss!! Your bird images are just exquisite (love the header pic) I have a bit of a 'love affair' with birds too, I get so many wild birds in my garden (well I do feed them haha!. Your trip around Dunham Massey was fascinating, oh how they used to live!! I agree about the crowds though, I get really annoyed when everyone in Perth seems to want to be in the same place as me!! Anyway really look forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique and interesting old building! Love the deer shot, and your header picture is sensational! Mickie :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent and interesting series of posts about Dunham Massey Andrew.
ReplyDeleteYou have a knack of supplying just the right amount of information to make for an enjoyable read...[;o)
It is a wonderful building.....a great day out.
ReplyDeleteTHOSE ARE Overwhelming!Awesome!, breathtaking!!!
ReplyDeleteThe artist's work, Andrew!
I'm taking photograph lessons...LOL...with a CD...hang on...I'll be in touch...hehehehehh
Today I posted a sad poem:It’s about birth and dead…a lonely, poor woman gives birth all alone surrounded with misery and hunger, after a day’s work in the farm…During the night she has her baby but she is too weak, fragile…so she dies…
The sound of the church bells spread the news of her death…and people say” She’s in Peace, now…let that be so.”!
Hope you like it...I have the translator...
Kiss you!

Of course I just HAD to look more closely at a post with 'slaughterhouse' in the title!! Not only are the pix great, but the journey from 'death' to 'sanctuary' is fascinating!
ReplyDeleteGlad the place has become a sanctuary and the slaughterhouse is nothing but a monument now.
ReplyDeleteThe information on the slaughterhouse is fab, and those deer are so alluring.
