A few vague reports have been creeping into the forums lately and it's my opinion that this is not a good thing. I also feel saddened when members new or old either don't read the forum rules and guidelines or do read
This Forum is very well moderated by people who use their precious time diligently, to uphold the high standards set by the Administration. I personally do not think it is the job of the "Rank and File' to pull the original Poster over the coals, especially as there is a proper route for airing one's concerns that does not offend or cause belittlement.
My only concern with the title would be the fact that the building has been identified as a 'Hay Loft', a loft it clearly ain't, more likely it was originally built as a rearing shed - the windows - but was then used for fodder and general storage. Still what the heck, local parlance could attribute 'loft' to this type of construction for all I know.
I feel very strongly that means of identifying the location of places like this should NOT be given, that pile of rusty 'junk' could contain some very valuable spares etc., they do not belong on the back of an itinerant scrapman's truck. And yes, the old buggers that that store stuff like this in these decrepit buildings know exactly what they have!
As anybody who has used photographs forensically will tell you, a good, informative photograph is worth a thousand words. The majority of the presented photographs are both good and informative. As Devonian has shown, they allow those of us old or lucky enough to recall seeing this equipment actually working make a clear identification.
What more does one expect from a 'derelict shed'?
