Blue Cottage

jsp77 · Sep 25, 2016

I visited this one evening with Rubex. Sadly i can't find any history, this was basically 2 rooms upstairs and 2 downstairs. looks not to have been lived in for sometime. Sadly there was no access to the adjacent one.

on with the photos

That's quite a shade of blue! Great pics as always, thanks for sharing.

The front of this used to be a sweet shop when I was a kid. The old woman was blind as a bat, I remember the older kids used to go in there and steal all the sweets. You got some great shots jsp77

Nice shots there. Must have been a nice cosy cottage at one time.

Really nice shots. I can definitely see this as a cute little sweet shop, you don't often see them nowadays

I always find it quite sad when I see abandoned buildings that still have photographs of the people who lived there. Especially old photos, they seem like something that should be protected and preserved, yet they're just left there to the elements. That might be all that's left of the person and it's decaying away.

So you only associate a woman with this place - no man about the house? The RAF service man in the photograph is I think air crew (is that a half wing visible on left chest), perhaps killed or missing in action for the photograph to be still on view. Pictures of service personnel in uniform who returned tended to be put away, a 'put it behind us' action (certainly happened in my family as I found them hidden in a desk drawer after Dad died). The 303 round and the possible 20mm cannon shell lurking in the shadows do not normally associate with a widow's normal keepsakes of a loved one killed in action - perhaps the chap was ground crew - an armourer who survived the war?
