Recently we had some architects
surveying the property, and as well as measuring everything they took lots
of digital pictures. Here is one of them that was in the middle of a
sequence of 7. None of the others showed any of this mysterious
smoke.
If you look carefully you can just make out old Mr
Nimmo at an angle at the left side of the picture, wearing a smoking jacket and
a cravat. When we showed this to the brewery staff they rushed off and
retrieved an ancient book with a photo of old Mr Nimmo in the same smoking
jacket, but wearing a tie, and sporting a moustache. They say you can
often smell his tobacco smoke - particularly on the stairs shown on our home
page. And there are reports of a figure huddled in the corner of those
stairs, and even a rather gruesome pair of torso-less legs once seen ascending
them.
