Research- Osbourne house.

I started to do some research on the victorian era after finding out about our project. My first initial thought, was Osborne house. Osborne house was Queen Victoria and Alberts guest/spare house in East Cowes on the Isle of Wight. It was built in 1845-1850 and was actually where Queen Victoria died. Living on the Isle of Wight my whole life, i have visited Osborne house a few times during my childhood on school trips. I decided to visit again to gain research for this project and being so young when i last went however you are not allowed to take photographs when you are inside the house.
I found a few images online of the Osbourne house.

The size of the house and the decor is what i would imagine Miss Havishams house to look like at the beginning, big rooms, expensive looking furniture, grand chandleries hanging from the high ceiling. And then i can imagine it like herself as times goes on, you can see elements that once was grand and expensive but now worn and un cared for, like her appearance.
