Northward House (gardens and some house interior)
Once again I recently had the privilege to visit Northwards House, taking advantage by taking interior photos of areas not usually open to the public.
Bypassing the grand staircase, and a portrait of one of the mining magnets of the era (Sir Lionel Phillips), we see the “Drawing Room”, Billiards room (has two sections), Atrium and Kitchen.
Then on to one of the Northward’s gardens, ascending the “rock” stairway to a position where I was able to snap a shot of my most favourite Heritage House, being **Dolobran (last photo).
This particular garden is expansive, with rock paths flowing here and there leading to interesting niches containing fascinating objects as well as a lovely winter display of colourful shrubbery and flowers, including a scenic “rear” view of Northwards House.
**Dolobran is rather flamboyant, having different genres/styles of homes (of the era) blended into one.
Built for Sir Llewellyn and Lady Anderson in +- 1906. The descending Anderson family still occupy the Dolobran House to this day.
