Description

Cliffe Castle was built by Christopher Netherwood a lawyer in Keighley, and finished in 1833. It was designed by George Webster of Kendal. Later it was bought and the grounds expanded from 20 to 300 acres by local textile magnate Henry Isaac Butterfield. In 1960 the house was converted into the local museum. thanks for looking hope you all have a great wk end hugs cj xxx p.s. has any one notice the head peaking out of the door spoilt the shot a bit.

very nice tone and impressive room.... i'm sure you can clone out the head... I find I often only notice things like that about my post several hours after posting them when it's a bit late to delete and replace!

I thought the appearance of the head was quite a nice touch. This is a wonderful view of this room and the b/w is perfect since there is so much glistening light. And I like the way the artist saw those guys when he sculpted them. :-)

A beautiful shot. Looks great in b&w. Very informative narrative. No, if you hadn't mentioned it I would have never noticed. I don't think it spoils the shot at all, Sig...
