Deep thoughts with GirlJaye... check out how all of the little bolts at the bottom of the bannister are screwed in to the exact same angle.
Great name for this shot, Motts.... ; )
Hah, I caught that Ton. ;-)

Motts, this is so beautifully understated. And is that a light fixture on the wall?
Or is it a soap dispenser...
No it's a soap dispenser. Those brits sure do build 'em funny eh
Sweet shot!
What a funny little stairway. I love the contrast between the black metal and the light peeling paint
Yes, definitely a British soap dispenser! Right Sian?
Absolutely guys! Spot on!
i second that! us brits are so health concious that even a drity bannister could cause us to faint in disgust...and on such a steep staircase you could very well tumble the whole way...maybe even break a nail...
This staircase reminds me of the one that was in my Grandparents house. It was behind a sliding door in the kitchen, and went up to the back part of the house.
My Grandmother told me that before they moved into the home, that staircase was used by the owner's hired help and led up to their servants quarters.
There is something very elegant about this staircase.
great shot, nice colors
Beautiful stairwell, loving the green
why is there a soap dispenser on the staircase? "Well i think i'll just cover my hands in soap while i walk down the steps"
i dont thinf it was a soap dispensor, look at how high on the wall it is, not to mention theres no sink.
Ok, wheres Lynne and Me~
Lets have a slide down that banniser!
Beautiful pic
Hi, love,

We've missed you!
... as I descend these stairs I realize the railing has left me with an ungainly goo on the palm of my hand, and what do I see, a soap dispenser in the most handy spot. I can now rest assured that there will be a sink at the bottom of the flight.
The "soap dispenser" has what looks like electical tubing coming out of it. I think it's a fluoro stairwell light.

Hey GirlJaye, I think the bolt fitter must been obsessive compulsive. Then again, if I was fitting the rail, I reckon I would line them up too.
HEY LYNNE!!! WHERES ME~ ?
I like the way the stairs kinda spiral. When I get my own house I'm making sure that there's at least one spiral staircase in it somewhere.
It's a damn flourescent light, not a soap dispenser.
No...
it's a soap dispenser. What looks like a wire is an experimental 24/7 soap feed line, saving valuable refilling time.
That's our man - tell it like it is! ;-)
Soap Dispenser, Soap Dispenser, Soap Dispenser !!! Na-Nanny -Boo-Boo!! Thbppft !
No!!! It is a juction box! Follow the covered cord down to find a plug down there!
Now getting back on to the artistic point of the photo, Motts clearly shows the usage of the tight angle of this stairway. And the fact that the range of light to accentuate the artistic value that the 19th used quite frequently, even in the utilty area's.
how on earth could that be a soap dispenser?
it is the wrong shape, and not to mention there is no 'push button' to dispense it with!

it looks like a light to me, us brits dont build soap dispensers with, uh, wires
Bry its a joke , check out the link in the comments....
Electric soap dispenser, wow, how advanced is that??? Amazing, Thanks Motts, who would have known...
