点评:Really interesting. Quite a small house, but with several examples of Frank's beautiful paintings and pieces of furniture, his wife's lovely embroidery and other handiwork to take in, as well as some very well-presented material in display cabinets, it meant that I stayed there for about an hour. I really enjoyed hearing what the guide had to say: he knew a lot about the house and the versatile, industrious, talented Dickinsons and introduced it very well. I left feeling very impressed by the Dickinsons' dedication and creative talent, especially given their limited financial means and the other competing pressures on their time. I was surprised and delighted to find that this house and it's collection of original furniture, fixtures and fittings, crafted by the Dickinsons in the early twentieth century had remained so intact. A tribute to them, their children, and a host of enlightened decision-makers at Sutton council and well-chosen caretakers.
This house is only a 5 minute walk from Carshalton Beeches train station and is on a road served by buses.
翻译:真的非常有趣。这栋房子虽然不大,但却陈列着弗兰克的多幅精美画作与家具、他妻子做的可爱刺绣及其他手工艺品。此外,展示柜里还有不少精心陈列的物品,因此我在那里停留了大约一个小时。我很享受听导游讲解:他对这栋房子以及多才多艺、勤奋努力的迪金森一家了如指掌,讲解得也相当出色。离开时,我对迪金森一家的奉献精神与创造力深感钦佩,尤其是考虑到他们经济条件有限,同时还面临着诸多时间上的约束。令我既惊讶又欣喜的是,这座房子以及里面那些由迪金森一家在二十世纪初亲手制作的原装家具、固定装置与装饰品,竟至今保存得如此完好。这一切都是对他们及其子女的致敬。还有萨顿议会中众多开明的决策者以及精心挑选的管理人员。
这栋房子距离卡舍尔顿比奇斯火车站仅有5分钟步行路程,且坐落于有公交车通行的街道上。
