  houe with wonky windows
by sandysmith
 
 

I loved the wonky windows on these preserved Jacobean houses - not far from the quayside - but it also had an interesting tale to tell as the plaque on it explains:
"from the above window on Nov 18th 1772 Bessy Surtees descended and eloped with John Scott later created 1st Earl of Eldon and Lord Chancellor of England".

Address: 41-44 Sandhill

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
