I'm glad that it's been restored after so many years of neglect. It's surprising how many people aren't aware of things that are on their own doorstep including me. Until fairly recently I had no idea of the existence of an ancient wood that is on the edge of the area where I live. I knew and used the much larger and well known Ecclesall Woods but had never even heard of Gillfield Wood until a Friends group was formed. I joined it and discovered a lovely place that is awash with bluebells in the spring and that has a long and interesting history.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-111218299147822101.post-82136201670241018052015-06-15T20:08:25.952+01:002015-06-15T20:08:25.952+01:00What a super exhibition and such a good idea, I...What a super exhibition and such a good idea, I'd love to see it. It looks similar to the one we saw at Clumber Park recently. Using old and new photos merged is such an imaginative way to bring the place alive and creating the 'ghosts' of the past. We visited the arboretum a few years ago and I thought it was a great place, if a little neglected. I love the boar photo:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.com
