EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the great staircase at Little Ridge, Wiltshire. Taken from Giles Worsley's renowned book "England's Lost Houses" this image showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and architectural beauty of a bygone era. The staircase, designed by Detmar Blow for Hugh Morrison in the early 20th century, stands as a testament to Edwardian elegance and the Arts and Crafts movement. Its solid oak blocks, each measuring an impressive six feet long, exude strength and durability. Mullioned windows flood the scene with soft natural light, illuminating every intricate detail of this magnificent interior. A stately grandfather clock stands proudly against one wall, marking time in this now-lost country house. Sadly, Little Ridge met its demise in 1972 when it was demolished. However, through this photograph captured by an English photographer from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are granted a glimpse into its former glory. This print serves as a poignant reminder of England's lost heritage; it evokes nostalgia for a time when craftsmanship reigned supreme and country houses stood as symbols of wealth and prestige. It is a testament to both the skillful eye behind the lens and the enduring power of photography to preserve history for generations to come.
