EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the main staircase at Dawpool, Cheshire, as featured in Giles Worsley's renowned book "England's Lost Houses". The image, taken by an English photographer in 1911, showcases the exquisite Victorian architecture that defined this magnificent structure. Built between 1882 and 1884 by Richard Norman Shaw for Thomas Henry Ismay, owner of the White Star Line shipping company, Dawpool was a testament to opulence and elegance. Sadly, its glory was short-lived as it met its demise in 1927 when it was demolished. The photograph highlights the intricate details of the interior with a focus on the stunning wood paneling that adorned both walls and ceiling. The plasterwork ceiling adds an extra touch of sophistication to this already impressive space. Each step on the grand staircase exudes history and charm. Located near Liverpool, Dawpool stood as a symbol of wealth and prestige during its time. This print serves as a bittersweet reminder of what once was—a lost treasure from England's past. It allows us to appreciate not only Worsley's talent but also Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving historical moments through fine art photography. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured over a century ago, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone—a time when craftsmanship reigned supreme and architectural marvels like Dawpool left lasting impressions on all who beheld them.
