This little place is a mystery, it's in the middle of nowhere and it's function hasn't revealed itself either through what has been left behind or by anything we can find on the internet. It may just be a house that someone lived in, but there is a fire extingusher and fire exit doors. There is one room downstairs, a kitchen. The 'front room' is upstairs along with the bedrooms, etc.
Other downstairs rooms are workshops and not part of the house.
There were a couple of out-buildings too, containing workshop machines and tools, but also filing cabinets.
There were MANY home made bits, including the clothes rack and some of the out-buildings (some didn't look safe!)
Hanging in one of the outhouses was a Factories Act - so were staff employed here? Was this a business? But then there are many photos, including baby photos, and a basket full of birthday/anniversary cards, all of which make it seem very personal and like a family home (dogs leads and a bird cage also spotted). Not to mention an electric blanket and what may have been a wedding dress hanging in the wardrobe.
And then even though there is a proper bathroom, half way down the stairs is a room with a Porta-loo!! Why is this even here? Puzzled...
I enjoyed this explore, including the REALLY long walk to get there, and in many ways it reminded me of the old 'House of Shelves'. I get the feeling if I returned I'd see more and more each time.
Visited with Shot_In_The_Dark, who managed to (three times I think) trip over a stone on the way there/back!
Thanks for looking...
