After a year's break work has started on the renovation of the exterior of Boscombe manor, Dorset. The image shows the current state of the work where the rendering has been removed, exposing the original brickwork. As well as a medical centre, the site will also contain several residential appartments.
The building, which dates back to 1801, is the former home of the son of poet Percy Bysshe Shelly (hence the building being known locally as Shelly Manor) and his wife, Mary. She is best known as the author of Frankenstein.
18-35mm Nikkor. 1/320 second at f/8. + 0.5 exposure compensation. ISO 200.
