A bit of a strange house this one, initially when I went inside I thought it was going to be an empty shell as the first two rooms had nothing in, but the remaining rooms were packed with 'stuff'. So much stuff, and often very unrelated which made it very difficult to get a picture of who lived here. I suspect someone started to renovate the house but quickly got out of their depth.
I have read about an old lady (someones Grandmother) living here, and there were hair rollers, hair dryer, slippers, along with kitchen utensils, etc, to back this up. Also a few toys dotted around. Dog and cat food tins were also dotted around the place so it suggested a nice family life, as well as a huge jar of Ketchup.
But there was evidence of carpentry; magazines and a saw, a big vice, a strange 'press', loads and loads of jars, two different film reels, pottery stuff, paint, glue. Also a fair amount of car bits and pieces. There was even a brief case which seemed really out of place there.
These were all in rooms in the house. There were also a number of out-buildings with lots more 'stuff' in, and it was strange that the tools (vice, etc) were in the house and not in the out-buildings. (I'll do a report on these outbuildings separate to this one)
So I really don’t know. Should I call this a potters house, a mechanics house, a carpenters house, a hoarders house, craft house? Very difficult to know, but there are loads and loads of shelves, so I've headed this one up as the 'House of Shelves' for now
It was very dark inside as all downstairs was boarded. The upstairs didn't look at all safe but I did it anyway. There was no wind at all so all noises outside were freaking me out, and there were lots! But most seemed to be animals.
Also many references to 'Get Out', 'She didn’t leave', 'Go to hell' spread throughout written on the walls. Assuming reference to the old lady that might still be haunting the place. Also kinda freaky especially as I was on my own again for this explore.
Oh, and my decent expensive torch kept turning off the whole time I was there!!! Seriously, it's pitch black in places in there (especially the cellar), and to have your torch just turn off isn’t good. A few times I was thinking about films where this happens and then the actor turns it back on and something nasty has appeared!!! I can tell you a few times I was almost afraid to turn it back on again
I'm such a wuss
The house is listed, but in very bad condition.
I never found the 2nd roller skate...
Lots of warnings to make people leave
Difficult to see, but there is a huge vice at the far side
Hair rollers, and perfume?
Erm, shouldnt ketchup be red. Eeew
Anyone any idea what this press is for?
More warning messages
A second film reel, a different size to the previous one though
A wide variety of reading material
A trip down to the cellar...
Strange to have the clock in the middle of the speedo. What's this from?
Time to head upstairs... Hmmmm, do they look safe?
More hair rollers, and a few toys
Bedtime reading?
Thanks for looking
