Description

A blue album containing photographs taken around the outbuildings and gardens at Wrest Park, some during repair. The album is arranged in sections, with each building having a title page (which has not been catalogued). Two watercolours by G. Shepherd are included at the start of the album of buildings on the site which have since been demolished. Note that 'Hermitage' is crossed out on the front cover - this may be a reference to the 'Root House' building in the first watercolour.
