The first of a trio of reports from my recent trip to Ambergate, Derbyshire. They are all linked in terms of their ownership and their geography, however there are far too many pictures for a single report. This set is of a row of derelict worker’s houses. There are 5-6 terrace properties and a series of outbuildings which were used to house the workers of the nearby Johnson and Nephew wire works. Beyond that I can’t find any more info. They’ve clearly been boarded up for a while and looking inside of the windows where the pikeys have ripped the boards off, the interiors look very damp. That and the fact I didn’t have my torch with me meant I declined to stumble around in these rather dank and dark derps. Here’s the pictures…
Most of the cottages are pretty well sealed:

Although some are open for viewing:

Nature is starting to reclaim the houses:

…and assorted out-buildings:

Structurally the walls are pretty solid:

But the roof at the back isn’t looking too clever:

Inside it isn’t going to win any interior design awards:

And the obligatory ripping out of fireplaces has occurred:

OK…that’s it for that one. Next time it’s factory time! Thanks for looking.
