Wow, what a place. Big thanks to MCrosbie for showing me round. I was told this place was a shadow of its former self, as a lot of the stuff had gone, but was very pleased with what was left. Teddy is still there, waiting for owner to come home.
The main difference since Mr Crosibe first visited, is that some stuff has vanished, and the floor of the lounge has collapsed - dramatically. All the bottles have gone – as have a few of the ornaments. However, it was nowhere near as empty as I feared, and we enjoyed a good couple of hours wandering around this place that obviously has so much history.
This property posed a photography challenge – some of the floors had collapsed nearly a meter, making use of tripod extremely difficult, so on occasion I have had to take a hand held shot. The site contains over a dozen sheds and a caravan, and It looks like a few extensions to the place were started, and a couple of new houses added, but never finished.
No history on this place; but we surmise:
There was obviously an old boy living here, and he probably died – most probably in here.
Its been derelict a while, judging by its condition.
Some extra bungalows and extensions to the existing house were planned here and partially built, but never completed. The original building is way beyond repair.
the floor had collapsed
teddy still waiting
kitchen
more floor collapse in the bedroom
gnomes
now this is the part that doesnt add up; the new house started but not finished
gramaphone
Now I'm not going to post the location of this place - partly out of respect for Mr C who has kept this under hat for a while, and also as I don't want to see this place get stripped. I hope you can enjoy the images for what they are.
Thanks for looking
