Try to find something new to do rather than do revisits let alone re-re-visits but was in the area with my camera. Wasn't going to bother at first but then what struck me was home different this place looks in winter. In spring and summer trees hide the house from view of the canal tow-path and dense brambles make the out-buildings a challenge to get to. Not so in winter so I had a another look round. The history has been done before but it's here in its full glory on one of my two previous reports:

The first thing that greets you is the lock itself:

As you get near the cottage can be made out through the trees:
img3302 by HughieDW, on Flickr
It hasn't changed so much over the last year or so:
img3304 by HughieDW, on Flickr
Mainly due to the roof being in tact:
img3305 by HughieDW, on Flickr
...although the local yobs have smashed every single window:
img3306 by HughieDW, on Flickr
The dining room still looks cosy:
img3307 by HughieDW, on Flickr
And the kitchen range is still there:
img3308 by HughieDW, on Flickr
But as previously reported someone has pulled the sink off the wall:
img3309 by HughieDW, on Flickr
No one has nicked the tin!

Or the up-stairs fireplace:
img3331 by HughieDW, on Flickr
The bed's still there:
img3332 by HughieDW, on Flickr
Love the black and red tiled flooring downstairs:
img3333 by HughieDW, on Flickr
Some crap graff has appeared in the living room:
img3335 by HughieDW, on Flickr
But this is just bizarre:
img3334 by HughieDW, on Flickr
Next door is a wood-burning stove:
img3310 by HughieDW, on Flickr
...in the out-house to the left:
img3311 by HughieDW, on Flickr
img3324 by HughieDW, on Flickr
So then on to the extensive sheds and out-buildings:
img3312 by HughieDW, on Flickr
img3313 by HughieDW, on Flickr
This looks like on old car's gear nob:
img3317 by HughieDW, on Flickr
Some old draws:
img3318 by HughieDW, on Flickr
And old fridge:
img3319 by HughieDW, on Flickr
And some old 30mm shell boxes!
img3322 by HughieDW, on Flickr
Yet another shed:
img3323 by HughieDW, on Flickr
This one's full of fire wood:
img3325 by HughieDW, on Flickr
And an old caravan:
img3327 by HughieDW, on Flickr
OK - hope you enjoyed seeing that old friend. Thanks for looking....

there was a little cat hanging around when I visited. He was so friendly and followed me back halfway along on the track by the river
