You are more observant than me, I hadn’t noticed there were any missing…

A good coat of varnish preserved these knobs well and I see most of them are still attached to the same old draws, CP.

LOL with so many draws in one place I would never be able to find anything! I have enough trouble already

I think it is just the deeds and documents for the estate which would cover a wide area.

Those old maps sound fascinating, I love looking at those when I was doing some of my family history research.

It is a good way to experience history

I had a smile when I saw this…the words “Now I know I put in a drawer somewhere” sprung to mind! lol!

Do they hold the deeds for the whole town here?

We kept our original deeds from the farm[and some maps dating to the 1700's] as they no longer actually do ‘deeds’ as such anymore.

I love this photo. reminds me of old sepia photographs.

I love these kinds of spaces..with their old drawers and woodwork. Wonderfully captured!

Living history, oh thin beauty.
