When it’s gone it’s gone. Joinery of a bye gone period

Two examples of dilapidated front porches show the detail that our Victorian home owners and joiners went into the presentation of their main entrance.

Along with the fan light above the door the covering porch was a statement of wealth and status.

Looking carefully at the design and the intricacy of the joinery and glazing I then imagine replicating one of these or the joy of bringing one of these examples back to life.

It’s ok, it seems to lavish money on a vintage motor car which is of equal heritage value but not so much on Victorian joinery which in Southampton and indeed throughout the uk is being neglected and lost.
