Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 17/10/2024 -- Hinges .
After a number of shots I settled for this one just because of the angle rather than all the straight shots . This is on one of three pairs of gates at the Entrance / Exits to The Mansion House in Leatherhead . There are a few more hinges in the first comment box .
As to the Mansion House , personally it has scarred me for life as the school dentist operated from here back in the 50s/60s and the mental scars of those visits , well do not do me any favours !!
The Mansion House has a bit of history to it so here is an abstracted article by the Leatherhead & Local History Society .
With the dissolution of Leeds Priory by Henry VIII, the original property was granted to the
Stydolf family of Mickleham and Pachesham and it was leased by one of Henry’s yeoman
falconers, Robert Cheseman. In 1588 Edmund Tylney, Master of the Revels to Queen
Elizabeth I took up occupancy. The Queen dined with him there on 3rd August 1591. Shortly before the Glorious Revolution in 1688, James ITs Chancellor, the notorious Judge Jeffrey’s,
came to the Mansion to see his dying daughter. The house was rebuilt in 1739 by Alexander
Akehurst in warm Flemish brick, well proportioned and evenly fenestrated with nine twowindowed bays.
In about 1846 Dr Thomas Payne founded ‘The Mansion Grammar School for Boys’ there.
The school was a boarding and day school for about 50 boys from 10 years upwards. He
taught the Jacotot system of education based on the principle that because all men have
equal intelligence received from God. The school continued until some time during the
1870s.
When it was sold to Herbert Reeves in 1922 it had 10 acres of grounds and a boathouse. In
1949, LUDC agreed with SCC to compulsory purchase the building for use as a public library
and health clinic. The building was also used later as a youth employment and careers
centre.
In May 2000 the ground floor rooms underwent restoration to become the Registry Office
and the library was moved to another part of the building.

7 Days of Shooting –
Week #16 (w/b 25 October) Graveyards/Cemeteries- Sometimes, we just need to go to places that are possibly considered morbid and even uncomfortable. However, there is no question that for wonderful moody shots graveyards can help us catch some wonderful history and even beauty through those old gravestones and elaborate sculptures. However, if you are like me you will not be taking any night shots!!
Macro Monday - Focus just inches away from your subject so as to produce big close-ups, sometimes even larger-than-life size.

Found these in my grandfather’s optometrist’s chest. They are part of fasteners used to connect the hingers of eyeglasses. Typically used for old style horn-rimmed glasses.

The seedpart is the 1x2 hinge brick top plate. I used 14 here.
While out on a adventure of photographing barns and old things, I saw these really cool hinges. I decided to photograph them in an upwards position rather than the usual straight on version. Taken this way gives a more dramatic effect to the whole photo, well..I think so anyway .

A hinge is a mechanical device that connects two solid objects, allowing rotation between them. Hinges may be made of flexible material or of moving components. In biology, many joints function as hinges. They are also known as shangles in old tudorian English (the large hinges on doors)
