I am from…
A history of the first railroads and mining for gold and salt,
The taste and smells of soy sauce and stir fry meals, and
The memories of the north and snow and fast paced living.
I am from…
A family with three daughters
A life as the baby of the family
A life full of love
I am from…
Parents with high expectations
Who instilled in me the pride in my heritage.
I am from…
A loving relationship with a man, who touches my soul,
A marriage that is based on honesty, respect, and lots of love, and
An absolute friendship that is filled with laughter and fun.
I am from…
A yard full of Flowers and mulch and worm compost,
A love of Mountains and nature,
Happiness in Tents and hiking boots,
A curiosity of yarn for crocheting and knitting,
A house full of books of all genre, and
Clutter and collections of treasures.
I am from…
The hopes of dreaming the impossible dreams
And never giving up.
Dining Room, 17th Century
A few nice family meals images I found:
Dining Room, 17th Century
Image by failing_angel
This room represents the private dining room in the home of a prosperous family in the late seventeenth century.
The family no longer ate with the servants in a communal hall as they had done in the mediaeval house. The development of the brick chimney, which moved the fireplace to the side of the room, away from the centre, allowed houses to be split into different levels and smaller more private rooms.
The beams, panelling and furniture are all made of oak. When new this room appeared a lot brighter, as the wood has darkened considerably with age. The furniture is decoratively carved and two pieces are even dated: the cradle is marked ‘1697’ and the large oak cupboard ‘1698’. Such cupboards were known in parts of Yorkshire as ‘Bride Wains’ as they were traditionally taken to a bridge’s new home on a wagon.
[York Castle Museum]
Founded in 1938, York Castle Museum is housed in buildings that used to form the prisons.
The prison buildings were built throughout the c18th – the county jail between 1701-05 by William Wakefield, the Assize Courts between 1773-77 and Female Prison between 1780-83, both by John Carr (1723–1807). By the c19th these buildings were deemed unsuitable and a new prison, in a Tudor Gothic style, was designed by Peter F Robinson (1776–1858) and George Townsend Andrews (1804–55). York Prison was closed in 1929 and demolished in 1935, leaving behind Clifford’s Tower and the c18th buildings which were then repurposed as the museum by Dr John Lamplugh Kirk (1869-1940).
