Seen from a slightly unusual angle at the corner of Morley and Cobden Streets, this is the fine Fifteenth Century Gainsborough Old Hall. Timber framed, but with parts having an early brick skin, the Hall has been the Town's centrepiece for over 600 years.

The Hall was built (largely) by the Yorkist Lord of the Manor, Sir Thomas Burgh, who entertained King Richard III here in 1470. However, the house was built on the site of a much earlier dwelling, and there is evidence to suggest that there are few sites in England where a house has stood longer.

In 1596 the house was sold to a London Merchant, William (later Sir William) Hickman, and he added the East Wing between 1597 and 1600. In 1720 his decendent, Sir Neville Hickman moved out of the Old Hall, and into a new dwelling at Thonock, about 2 miles away.

By the early 1950s, the building was in a parlous state, and was donated to the Town. Gainsborough Urban Distric Council had plans to demolish the building and build a car park on the site, but fortunately this never came to pass. Thanks to the work of local volunteers, especially Mr Harold Brace and the group he founded - the Friends of The Old Hall, the building was not demolished. Instead the building was restored between the late 1950s and the early 1980s, and is now run by English Heritage, and a visit can not be recomended highly enough.

Unruly crowd growing by the seconds, everyone wanted to be included on the photo

Most of these photos have been taken in Jan. 1991 when I spent a month in Bangladesh, trying to see the last remaining sailing boats as more and more were motorized. I guess that there are even less now… Earlier in 1978 and 1979 (some photos are also dating from those travels), I was stunned by their numbers but had not taken so many photos at that time.

Jan. 1991 : in the middle of the Gulf War, my embassy had told me that it could be dangerous to travel in the delta but I had done it before and felt perfectly safe in the large steam boat that brought us again slowly to Khulna and back to Dhaka, also on other boats going to Munshiganj etc… It was also before an election (Feb. 27) and in the middle of the political campaign between the A.L and the B.N.P.
