Railway carriage houses at the edge of Pagham beach - 28th March 2024

It was very windy on my last day in Pagham at the end of March and I knew that birdwatching would be very difficult.  Instead I went for a walk near Pagham beach in order to try and find some of the houses that started off life as railway carriages.  As time went by extensions were added to enlarge the houses, so they all began to look very different.  Below are some of the railway carriage houses overlooking the sea on the edge of Pagham beach.

There is a railway carriage on the side of this house


It was easy to tell that this house was descended from railway carriages


Another version of a house made up of two railway carriages

I think that this pretty house was originally from railway carriages, plus there is another one next door

This house with railway carriage windows was viewed from the road at the back of the beach

Interesting architecture - houses and buildings - seen during a Christmas walk in Brightlingsea, Essex

I spent a week in Brightlingsea over Christmas and saw more than wildlife while I was there.  Below are photographs of interesting buildings in the town during a walk on Christmas Day.

Jacob's Hall - a very, very old house on the High Street





I liked the window on this house

Interesting black and white house

All the houses along the High St were different

Lovely roof above a doorway

Houses at Hurst Green

The Rosebud pub at Hurst Green


Lots of the houses had Doric Columns by the front door

Ancient barn

Timber framed house

House with interesting windows and picket fence

I liked the wrought iron porch on this large brick-built house


This amazing large house used to be a hotel/pub and is now divided into three flats
