Nestled amongst the rolling hills, woods and marsh over two miles from any recognisable road or path, sitting in seclusion, its memories of livestock farming slowly naturally decaying lies poultry farm X. Remnants of previous labour and toil remain on a site which dates to the 1840’s.

Poultry farm? Very seasonal mate, though the turkeys appear to have gone long ago… ;)
 
Is it really that remote? Sounds like a great place for a wander...
 
Can't wait to hear about that, will hopefully be able to explore this place when I'm back on two feet.
 
I would like to know more about it too, new member and liking the site
 
Here is a picture of the site during the first world war:

You can see the troops admiring the beasts before they were taken for the pot. When my friend gets back to me with some more information I should be able to get some pictures of the site when it was in use as a poultry farm.
 
Back before farms were industrialized hell holes with vast windowless sheds...

You've captured the desolation of this site very well.

:)

That's interesting, those look like Danish Landrace pigs: you can tell by the large ears. I wonder what the Wehrmacht were doing there, though?
 
Thank you David and Wolfism for the kind comments, and thank you to Skin for originally posting the report. My friend has sent me some archive pictures of the farm after it had been converted to a poultry farm from a piggery. I am not sure of the dates of the pictures but if I find out I will be sure to post them up. Here are the pictures:
