Over Christmas we agreed as a group to have our parts of the project dine and ready to put together when got back into Uni.

We did this assignment o the InDesign programme, luckily enough Emma came in a few weeks back to introduce us to the programme. Really easy to use once you get the hand of it.

I had a few Drawings done over Christmas for the Front and back cover of our Building Analysis Report. 

When we were getting closer to the deadline date the group really began to try and get everything sorted.

We booked in with Emma Friday morning so we could print and bind our Report, it was a success. we had it handed into our tutor around 12.30PM.

This assignment really helped my knowledge and understanding of InDesign. And I feel like I now feel comfortable to start presenting my work using InDesign as my platform.

Brief overview:

Ordsall Hall has been going for 850 years. Its previously been a family home, working men’s club and church hall. Various family's have inhibited the hall over the many years its been standing, many of which have died there. especially the most important family, the Radclyffe family, who lived in the house for over 300 years.

The white lady:

Has been seen by many locals as a apparition walking up the to the tiny room above the oriel, hovering around the great hall and star chamber. Many wonder who she is, some believe its Queen Elizabeth I's favorite maid of honour, Margaret Radclyffe - she died in 1599 due to a broken heart as the death of her brother some time before. However others believe she was a bride to be who was left at the alter in St Cyprian's Church once- adjacent to Ordsall Hall. Others even believe she was Guy Fawkes fell in love with - Viviana Radclyffe who supposedly came to Ordsall Hall to plot the Parliament scheme. Many have seen her climb the stairs in the great hall and throw herself over the banister to her death.

If you want to know more about the hall and its haunting's there is a ghost camera you can watch that is updated every 72 hours.
