EDITORS COMMENTS
The Corridor Looking East, Highhead Castle, Cumberland: A Glimpse into England's Lost Houses". This photograph takes us on a journey through time, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of Highhead Castle in Cumberland. The corridor stretches out before us, its elegant architecture capturing the essence of 18th-century opulence. Built in the 1740s and later restored by Herbert Hills in 1902, this magnificent castle stood as a testament to Edwardian architecture. The corridor itself may have been created during Hills' renovation, showcasing his impeccable taste and attention to detail. As we gaze upon this image captured in 1921 by an English photographer from Country Life magazine, we can almost feel the echoes of history reverberating through these walls. Sadly, tragedy struck when fire gutted the castle in 1956, forever altering its splendor. The photograph invites us to appreciate the beauty that once existed within these walls. Columns rise majestically towards a vaulted ceiling while pilasters adorn each side with grace and sophistication. The colonnades create an atmosphere of grandeur as light filters through their arches. Through this lens of early 20th-century photography, we are transported back to an era where castles like Highhead were symbols of power and prestige. This image serves as a reminder that even though some treasures may be lost to time or disaster, their memory lives on through artistry such as this remarkable print from Giles Worsley's "England's Lost Houses.
