Ghostly tales.....

Straight up I admit to a bit of tweaking (you'd never have guessed right!) to give the lobby of the Rose & Crown, the oldest hotel in the State a suitably ghostly appearance. Known as the Rose & Crown Inn back in 1841 it's said that the spirits of convicts and former publicans roam the corridors and cellars of this Georgian style heritage listed building, and as much as I prefer not to think about 'other worldly' matters, I can see how the possibility of espying something spooky would hugely appeal to many more adventurous than I.. is it just me or do you see 'something spherical' in the original 1841 dining room to the right :) The room to the left is the private dining room.....

The reception area has a wonderfully warm and friendly atmosphere, j'adore all the warm wooden furniture and fittings.....

The steps leading down to the the Cellar Bar and some lovely old benches that I thought Malyss and VP might enjoy :)

The water from the well below built by convicts was once used for brewing ale and to the right the tunnel entrance that led down to the shores of the Swan River, used for bringing stores up to the hotel from barges.

Seen under the light of a clear blue sky this lovely old hotel in Guildford one of Perth's oldest suburbs, doesn't look eery at all, in fact we enjoyed a scrumptious lunch in the lush gardens..but as the sun goes down.....haha! only kidding, I'm sure there are no ghostly goings on at all :) Happy middle of the working week, take care.....
