I went to visit my mate in nowheresville Lincolnshire last month, and on the way back with a hangover, I stumbled across this place. Wasn't sure wether it would be worth it or not, but the ancient TV & lampshade made it worth posting - you just wouldn't see anything like that these days. I'm sure my old man had a TV like that in 70s / early 80s - back in the day when we only had 3 or 4 channels.

I don't know how long its been derelict - its got to be 10 years at least, but in the last year or so, the foliage has been cleared away, so maybe its facing demolition.

This isn't far from Boston, not sure if its been posted before. Nothing too epic, but a bit of a time capsule.
 
Always find it sad when they clear away the foliage, you can easily predict then how it will end, however mr wombat your shots have captured it well, I do like the small amount of rubble on the tv :)
 
nice mate good find :)
cheers mate

Google street view a couple of years back and you could barely see the house.
Think you may be right Mr Mockingbird; it could be doomed.
thanks mate

I like this. I can remember the excitement ehen we got Channel 4 (1982 I think it was, showing my age now):)
Thanks Tumble :)
Channel 4 starting was a distant memory for me, but I think kids these days would be astonished that we only had 4 channels.
 
I know this one well. They've only recently cleared the folage.
Cheers mate. Any idea how long its been derelict?

nice explore
been past this a few times in the last few months but never had time to look and never dreamed it would be like that inside

I thought it would be empty too, so was quite surprised to find all that lot left in there.
 
Yeah a quaint little place! I think you're right - gonna be redeveloped soon, so good job you photographed it while you could!
 
Took some pics and spoke to a neighbour. Its going to be levelled and 2 modern houses built in its place.
If you dont mind I'll add my pictures to this thread

Nice pics there RedT1iger, Thanks for adding :)
Looks like someone has carefully turned the TV up the correct way!
