We've written before quite frequently about George Bernard Shaw's writing hut at Ayot St Lawrence, Hertfordshire (just up the road from Shedworking HQ) but never really presented a decent selection of images of it. So hopefully these photos from a recent sunny trip will remedy that. For more details go to the National Trust.
Such a great shed. I'm so sorry I have to use mine for storage. At least for now. Maybe I'll start writing one day - then I'll use my shed for that :-) Where to put all the stuff, though...
i love the writing hut. i could use one myself! maybe my kids would leave me alone then. i'd need some garden furniture for a little yard for break time though.
Thanks for posting these. The actual setting for the shed, as much as the shed itself, looks like a great place to work.

I love this.
ReplyDeleteWe have just finished converting our shed on our farm in South Africa. I have posted pics - have a look!
It's hardly surprising that GBS should opt to work in a shed that looked like a privy to judge from this story:

I think you're being a bit harsh Ajax - a privy? It's really quite nice.
