Spooky Surroundings

I was in the car travelling home from Birmingham and we went past a small town called Long Compton. The village is very old and Victorian. There were many churches we drove past. The village just seemed to be how I picture Great Expectations in my head, the character of the dingy buildings reminds me of when we're first introduced to Pip.

The small houses like this reminded me of Victorian houses. Victorian houses are often reffered to as a 'gothic revival'. Victorian houses are somewhat eery and spooky with many stories that have been passed from them. The red brick found on the house on the image below shows it could be from the Victorian times as the red brick was often popular to be used.
