In 2010 I sanded the guest bedroom floor. It was not much fun, and the passage of 14 years means that doing the floor of the main bedroom was weighing heavily on my mind. And knees, back, lungs...
Luckily we have met a man who has the right gear for doing this stuff, so the bedroom floor is sanded and has received its first coat of varnish.
It's an odd kind of colour, but that's what happens when you sand very old, very dirty wood that has lived a life. The strange shapes on the floor are bits of brass, covering blemishes and splits in the wood. They are likely to be quite old.

Simon, if the varnish being used is neutral and not coloured, that looks like cherry wood.... as a floor, it won't be [far too soft].... presumably it is one of the "pine" family.... but I can't think of any normal flooring timber that would give that colour.
my kitchen in house built 1023 has a pine floor about that color
It's looking good, a floor that probably has a tale or two to tell.
