EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of The Conservatory at Drayton Manor, Staffordshire. Taken in 1908 by an English photographer, it is a print from Giles Worsley's book "England's Lost Houses" published in 2002. The conservatory was a magnificent addition to the Jacobethan house commissioned by Sir Robert Peel and built by Sir Robert Smirke in the early 19th century. The image showcases the exquisite Victorian architecture of the conservatory, with its towering glass walls and intricate detailing. Inside, lush palms create a serene atmosphere while a beautiful pond adds to the tranquil ambiance. This stately home was not only known for its architectural splendor but also for housing an impressive art collection. A new gallery was added by Sir Robert Peel, who served as Prime Minister during his time. Sadly, this architectural gem met its demise when it was demolished in 1926. However, through this photograph, we are transported back to a time when this majestic structure stood proudly amidst its surroundings. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece of history through their fine art collection. It serves as a reminder of England's lost houses and allows us to appreciate the beauty that once existed within these grand estates.
