Photographing the Entrance Sequence

A sign informing everyone that lives on the road of tree works
which will mean all vehicles must be removed. 

As you can see here, directly outside my house there is quite a decorative,
old fashioned street lamp.

The old and the new paving

Showing the division between public land and the driveway to my house.

The drainage system at the end of my drive where all of the water runs in to.

This photo shows the route I take everyday to get to my front door.
 When our car is there, you feel a sense of enclosure with the wall on the other side as
the space then becomes quite restricted and limited. 

Showing the decorative brickwork design.

This photo shows an interesting vine of plants running
up the wall. 

Here you can see as we approach the entrance it starts off quite narrow
but gets wider and wider which is unusual for most entrances.

This image focuses on the interesting light source outside the front entrance.

The photo shows the front door and the Victorian style stain glass windows.

Door mat.

The change in surface materials on the floor as we enter the house.

This photo is very interesting as it shows the interior and exterior
 on either side of the door,

A close up of the stain glass window on the door highlighting its fine detail
and use of different colours.

This photo shows the many different surface materials at the front of the house.

Exterior brickwork

What you first see when you enter the house, quite a
light, airy feel to the house.

You can begin to get a feel of the house now with a continuous theme
of stain glass windows throughout the house.

The beginning of the stairs- carpet stairs through to the top of the house gives a cosy, comfy feel.

The first internal light source we meet.

This radiator is located at the very front of the house as
a heat source for when you first arrive.

The two images above show the different styles of wallpaper which
were used on the interior walls downstairs.

This photo shows the connection between the floor, skirting board and lower interior wall.

My Building and its surrounding area

Here I feel a strong sense of being on the periphery as I am neither in
my area (Northfield's) nor any other-I'm in limbo- on a connecting road linking
Ealing to Northfield's.

Here I have just arrived in my area, you can now begin to grasp a feeling and
sense of idea about the aesthetic and architectural qualities in Northfield's.

This photo was taken outside the local Methodist church looking
across at the core of Northfield's- where most interaction occurs.

This image shows the bus stop and various shops and cafés along Northfield's Avenue.

In this photo you can see the turn off to my road 

A signpost for my road warning you of the
upcoming bumps you will encounter.

Here, you see the top of my road and also how it begins to
bend-this creates a sense of mystery as you want to know
whats around the corner.

As you can see from this photo taken halfway down my road, the lamp posts
are in keeping with the style of architecture on the road- Edwardian.

It is not until you are about four or five houses away that you can 
distinguish which house is mine,  from here you can begin to make out the
 general shape and forms but any detail is not yet visible

This photo is the first real sighting of my house on route,
it is taken from the perspective of the public.

Here you can see the façade of my house,
built in the early nineteen hundreds in an Edwardian style.

The front door to my house.

This photograph was taken at eye level to show you what exactly I am able to
see when I look left from outside my house.

As shown in this picture my road has plenty of roadside trees and
 lamp posts.

This image shows the side entrance to Lammas Park only about
25 metres down the road from my house. Relatively tall bushes on both sides 
give off a sense of enclosure.
