Dormer Cottage - Felbridge, Surrey - December 2017

Gromr · Dec 3, 2017

A small cottage in Felbridge that's due for demolition.

History

I would guess it was abandoned at least 10 years ago, but I really don't have any solid history on the place.

The Explore

A nice easy explore, although there wasn't really a whole lot to see as it had been mostly emptied.
The top floor is being held up with metal supports, so not the most stable building...

It's just about to fall by itself. At least you captured it before the bulldozers went in.

I wondered that myself. I suspect there was something attached to it previously, but who knows what. I would say maybe something like a satellite dish, but the house seems too old for that. Maybe where the power used to come in?

Set of early solar panels. A mate who lives down there told me that there used to be a set of batteries also on the property, but he has no idea if they were for 'stand by' power - if and when the mains supply dropped out!

From ‘Helter Skelter’ by Vincent Bugliosi :
“One of Manson’s chief disciples, Bruce Davis, was very closely involved with Scientology for a time, working in its UK headquarters from about November or December of 1968 to April of 1969. According to a Scientology spokesman, Davis was kicked out of the organization for his drug use. He returned to the Manson family…in time to participate in the Hinman and Shea slayings.”
“On December 1, 1969, Joel Dean Pugh, husband of Family member Sandy Good, was found with his throat slit in a London hotel room. As noted, local police ruled the death a suicide. On learning of Pugh’s demise, Inyo County DA Frank Fowles made official inquiries, specifically asking Interpol to check visas to determine if one Bruce Davis was in England at the time.
Scotland Yard replied as follows: “It has been established that Davis is recorded as embarking at London airport for the United States of America on 25th April 1969 while holding United States passport 612 2568. At this time he gave his address as Dormer Cottage, Felbridge, Surrey. This address is owned by the Scientology Movement and houses followers of this organization.”
