University of Buckingham: the old iron works

an unexpected smile...

After I shot this window at the old iron works for the theme of circles/spheres I headed home. It was only after I got the photo off my camera that I noticed the unexpected smile. What a great start to what I hope will b a joyful month.

Another view of all those fabulous windows at the old Castle Iron Works.  With the opening of the railway in Buckingham in 1850, the Castle Iron Works was built to make agricultural machinery.  It became well know for its steam-powered road vehicles but the firm failed in 1865.  The building later became a corn mill and then a condensed milk factory.  It now belongs to the University of Buckingham.
