• Does anyone know who these men are? This photo has come from our archive but without any markings we can only guess at their identities. Why are they wearing aprons? Where was the photograph taken? And why was it taken? We do know that the snap has something to do with Exbury. One theory is that these men worked in the blacksmiths that is now Mr Eddy's restaurant. If you recognise a face and can shed some light on this wonderful photograph comment below or message us! #throwback #throwbackthursday #tbt #oldphoto #workers #archive #photography #exbury100

  • #Throwback to 2013/14 when the Exbury Egg was a feature of the Beaulieu River. The Exbury Egg is Stephen Turner's artwork. It grew from a collaboration from 2012-14 between the artist, architects PAD Studio and the producers Space Place and Urban Design (SPUD), working together to realise the artist's vision. It was built by locally based boat builder Paul Baker and has been generously supported by The Exbury Estate from its conception. A key aim for Stephen was to develop a temporary live/work space on the tidal estuary of the Beaulieu River as a place to engage with environmental issues and to generate new perspectives on the meaning of place and of our human connection to nature. He lived in the Egg from July 2013 - July 2014 and documented his daily experiences there in a series of over 200 blog posts, that can be found at http://www.exburyegg.me #tbt #throwbackthursday #egg #river #beaulieu #newforest #art

  • During the winter our gardeners are hard at work maintaining Exbury's 200 acres. This year, there's been a real focus on planting, in particular young saplings. Pictured here (and in the distance) on a very frosty morn in January are: - Acer griseum, Acer rubrum, Acer rufinerve (all maples for autumn colour) - Amelanchier lamarckii (for spring flowers) - Parrottia persica (for autumn colour) - Sorbus sargentiana (for their lovely fruit and autumn colour) Location in gardens: Witcher's Wood #saplings #fruit #flowering #trees #woodland #gardens #frosty #winter #frost #plants
