Historical information

One of a group of slides taken by members of the Society of built heritage in Kew in 1979-80. The selection of subject matter reflects the priorities of the period. The colour of some slides has degraded.

Significance

The slides represent a snapshot in time of built architecture in Kew, much of which has changed in the forty-plus period since they were created.

Physical description

35mm colour transparency (slide) taken from a photograph of a section of the ballroom ceiling of South Esk (Ordsall). The photo was developed in 1980. There is a high degree of colour distortion in the transparency.
