Wow, looks great Marco! Definitely a lot of character, and loads of storage for the ever-expanding record collection. Will you purchasing some tweeds for the grand-opening, if it all comes off

Cheers, John and Nick. There may well indeed be some ghosts! Tweeds? Lol - maybe! I wonder what chaps wore in those days?
I'm rather liking Oliver Cromwell's dandy and quaintly fetishist little number here:
Nice 'truncheon', too!
Hi Martin,
Indeed. I think the floor in that room is tiledVery nice, Marco. What's the floor, is it stone or covered floor boards? Will make a difference to how the Lockwoods behave.
It would certainly be interesting discovering how the Lockwoods behave in there. I've heard them before in a much bigger room than mine at Scalford Hall, but the walls there were mostly plasterboard, and the Lockwoods still sounded great, so one would hope they would work really well in the proposed room in Wynn Hall
However, the structural survey might come back saying that the place is falling down, so we're not counting any chickens yet!

Very nice, lots of character. I am sure if you go for it yourself and Del would love living there, as would the cats!

Looks fantastic Marco - forget Scalford Hall looks like you could host a hi-fi show in the place yourself it is that big. Interesting history too - not shure what the ghost of Wiliam Wynn will make of Papists moving in, though

Hi Marco,
I don't know if you've read this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Castles-Air-...4577568&sr=8-1
It's a good read in itself but the house they (partially) renovate is Gwydir Castle near Llanwrst which was also a house owned by an earlier branch of the Wynn family.
http://www.gwydircastle.co.uk/history.htm
The Wynns were certainly big in North Wales!
Very nice house btw!
Cheers,
Tony
