The Old Man's House Down the Road

This is my first post so go easy on me, but please do not take these images, it is illegal. as these particular prints are actually currently on exhibition in London.


I don't know much about this Old Man.
But I can only go by what I learnt from looking at was left behind.

This poor semidetached house on a busy main road, is just gone un noticed and forgotten.

He lived on his own. as there was no signs of womens clothing.
He was obsessed with horses and america and the wild west, which he owned a lot of books on.

It really does just look like he got up one morning though made breakfast, left and never came back!
So sad, and I cannot describe the atmosphere inside it.






































Thanks for viewing

Fantastic shots mate! I think the reason why he never came back was because he forgot his glasses and couldn't find his way.

Could be. wish I knew though.

Very evocative photos, thanks.

Nice report .. I'm liking the sewing box! Good first post

cracking report, nice pics of an interesting site

nice first set, very thoughtful images, especially like the photo with the lotto tickets, does make the mind wonder

Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful photos, cheers for sharing, good luck with the exhibition!

The plaque above the fireplace would be quite a clue to his background. Much respect.

I know it's a bit blurry, but I'll take a guess that he was in the RSDG.

I can't see a plaque..?
But from what I can see, and if I can remember correctly.. it's just a mirror with a picture of a horse stuck on it above the fireplace.

Half way up the brick chimney breast on the left, as Seahorse says, is a plaque with the RSDG emblem on it.



Although it may be more likely that it is actually the emblem of the Royal Scots Greys as the RSDG weren't formed until 1971 and they inherited the emblem from them.

Brill first post its left me thinking what the hell did happen?
