Gateway to spring


Gateway Cottage at North Rode near Gawsworth. You can often drive along the lesser taken roads in rural Cheshire and come across pleasant surprises such as this. It was the railway station master's house, built in the style of the North Staffordshire Railway Company.

  1. It looks like it is very small. Almost like a doll house. But I think it is really a normal size house. I have not seen anything like it before.

    After I was hacked I had to give up my old user name and the blogs that went with it. My Birds Blog was among the give-ups.

    So this is the new birds blog and I hope you can come visit. Birds Birds Birds and Birds

  2. I would love to live in a cottage like this! I'm glad you found it. The road less-travelled is worth a view. :)

  8. Chrissy, this is a spectacularly charming cottage. I think we should see it next year on one of the British import television series, like Downton Abbey.

  9. I was admiring the square chimney, which I don't think I have seen before, but then wondered about those things at the gables - are they also chimneys?
