London... (#106)

RUN FOR THE PHOTO
My fitness advisers suggested that I keep-up the habit of running by making it an activity rather than a chore. So today I decided that I would take a 6K run to and from a historical landmark in Harrow, a borough of London, to get some photos.

TITHE BARN
Pictured in this blog is Tithe Barn in Harrow Museum. The materials in this building date back to 1506 according to scientific evaluations. It's survival is thought to be remarkable considering the amount of bio-degradable materials used for the construction of this Grade II* Listed building.
