Hi, the last time i drove by Atbara, there was a guard sitting at the car porch. Just wondering if you know of any chance i'll be able to negotiate with the guard to let me take a few shots of the house? The few photos i managed to take were from across the road (down the small slope) and i really wanna see it up close.

By the way, what's the address of Matilda House? Barricaded up?

Not sure if you have checked out the old Shaw Studio at Jalan Ampas. I went last weekend and the gates were wide opened. Some workers were clearing old junk. The place seems to be a giant karung guni store. This lady, who appeared to live in there (caretaker i suppose) allowed me in to take photos.

Very nice images, the sepia colour just gives them the right 'mood' for the age of the building.
Thanks for sharing
