This is in an outbuilding in the grounds at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire. It is a fascinating property to visit because the National Trust have only restored the outside of the property. The inside has been left with all it's eclectic clutter just as it was when the took over the property.
I should turn this into a quiz and say count how many types of support you can find in the photo!

That really is a fascinating room. The picture itself almost looks ... surreal. The colors are so vibrant. And you're right, NUMEROUS support here.

Now Cherrypie, do you want us to spend all day here visiting? Good post for this theme. You are so lucky to live in the midst of all these interesting places. Have a good weekend.
I agree with jmb - how lucky you are to live with such history! Come see my take on the theme. And have a wonderful weekend! :D
A dozen supports atleast! Wow.What a room. I used a plow like that when I was a teen. Planted my own potatoes too. Great photo.
Fascinating pic! I had never heard nof this place before - definitely one to check out.
Another great pic and a different take on "support" great to see how you all see it do differenly :-)
Great photo Cherie, love the old clock there :-)
Wow that's an amazing picture Cherry Pie. I only live about an hour's drive from Derbyshire so will check it out.
My dad had a grass cutter similar to the one in the picture it was called a Qualcast, I think!
I havn't visited your site before so I'm just setling down to have a good read.

They're making jolly sure of this one, Cherie.
Been there, lovely place, huge cellars - enough to hide a regiment in.
Karen - It was rather unusual being Blue like that.
Aileni - I am glad you found it so :-)
Dragonstar - Glad you like it.
Luisa - There were lots of treasures inside the main house, all jumbled into one big mess ;-) :-) xoxoxoxoxoxox
Pato & Pearl - At least you tried ;-)
jmb - You are welcome to, but there are so many other places to visit ;-)
Leslie - Yes I am lucky :-)
Rosebud - I bet you had fun with that.
Welshcakes - It is a fascinating place.
Sally - Thank You :-)
Nunyaa - It was great to see close up, it think it deserved better treatment than being stuck in an outhouse though.
Trubes - My Dad had one of those too. Thank you for your visit :-)
James - They are ;-)
Sackerson - They certainly are huge aren't they? I loved the place.
I love that they have left the inside intact. Great choice for this week's theme
