The Workhouse, Nottinghamshire - Nik Recipes

Following an evening on Nik software, which included the making and saving of recipes, here are five images each subjected to two very different recipes that I made. The Workhouse, Southwell (National Trust) has been extensively altered since my last visit and the Infirmary opened to show how the building was from the 1960s till it closed in the 1980s.

 

The Workhouse Southwell

This is the most complete workhouse in existence, built in 1824 as a place of last resort for the poor and needy. Its architecture was influenced by prison design and it became a blueprint for workhouses throughout the country. The first two images show the original 'deadhouse' for corpses and the later mortuary. I particularly liked all the long corridors and peeling paint
