Not sure this picture has been posted before from an old book.

couple of my early attempts at Aston hall and entrance gate many many years ago. Eric

Oh my goodness Eric, those are wonderful pieces of art!

Not sure if this has been on before. From a postcard on ebay. Hall in 1880s

The conservatory running alongside the Hall must have been where the exhibition was located (mentioned in post #182 - interior view)

I don’t think I remember the conservatory, was it removed at some point? Maybe it was so long ago that I don’t recall.

Nor me but Vivienne said it was for an exhibition so I guess it wasn't there very long.

It was built for the visit of Queen Victoria on 15th June 1858 to open the Hall and Park to the public. The photo is stated to be 1880s, so it must have (assuming date is correct) remained for some years

I looked back and found some previous pictures and information about this "glasshouse" (1858 - 1924?) - on the earlier pages 3 (post #80), 7 (#182, #201) & 8 (#234 #239), as well as some other informative posts on this, on and around those pages. Hope that helps clarify a couple of points.

Thanks, it was there quite a few years then!
