The Boiler House


This was the Bolierhouse at Fair Mile Hospital in Cholsey I had written a blog about in Forgotten Fairmile and needed to come back to take some photos to finish it off. Ended up doing it twice because of the overcast sky on one day. If you click on the link you can read my blog on it


Not the best day with the sky's looking how they are

Looked even worse the other way

Next day was better with superb blue sky

Had to make lighting adjustment due to the building on the left.

and the other way again looking a bit better with blue sky. Still not totally happy but will do to finish  off my blog. I might add I have been up the chimney and there is an amazing view from up there.

Best not look down, make you dizzy

Look out instead

Amazing you are able to climb up that chimney! The view straight down is a little worrisome, but I love the view.

No I can't look down!

Great captures, I would be too scared to climb that chimney. Thanks for sharing :)

Jim said...

I've got three stacks in my shot today. :)

Jim said...

This is great to see, by the way.

I don't like looking down but do take a peek every now and then. It is an interesting view when you looked straight down. I love the view better looking out. I wouldn't think they would allow people to climb up the chimney. You must be inside it to get to the top.

Wonderful varied shots of the Boilerhouse chimney juxtaposed against the varied skies ~

Something about that blue sky!

Great photos and a good lesson in perseverance to capture the best photo possible. Chimney climbing...definitely not for me though. :)

Love seeing the difference between cloudy day skies and sunny day skies. And that view from the top is beautiful!

Sharon said...

Wonderful shots and I loved the old post about the history and seeing those old boilers. How did you get up to the top? Are they stairs?

The height of those chimneys is incredible. I don't think i would have gone up there.
