Underground, mostly.
Heres a few boring pictures from an old house, here on the island, visited Sept 07.
Not sure when it was last lived in, but it has lead pipework and gas lighting, so Ill let youguess.
Visited with a couple of mates, Jackus and Mike H.

The whole downstairs ran on gas lighting.


This is in the kitchen, a hand water pump, similar to ones found in ROC posts.

There were lots of these spiders, all white & dead, as if they were frozen in time.

Nooo it didn't bore me to death!! What an amazing place - all those trinkets (junk to anyone else!) simply lying around just waiting to be found. Do you have any outside pics of the building? I think it's a very interesting place. :)
 
Niceone mate! This the place i fell down the stairs right? lol. Strange little building! a right time warp!:)
 
Yes Timmy, thats the one.
Forgot to say, revisited with Tim Tom :p

Sausage, the only external one is from Googlearth;

Its the building towards the center, but offset left a little, surrounded by trees.
 
What a fantastic place - so many little bits and pieces from years gone by that are just lying around ... fab!

Anyone for Steak and Kidney pie?
 
Old House

A real timewarp and gem of a find,this place should be turned into a museum.
Theres some really interesting old stuff there.:)

Far from boring,wished I lived a bit nearer:exclaim:
 
What an amazing place! Love the old TV and the torch. Amazing that it's just been left all this time, even more amazing it's survived with everything inside still.

Thanks for posting it :)

Maniac.
 
Thanks guys an gals, Im amazed how much praise this post has got, I really didnt think it would generate much interest, just shows how wrong you can be :p
 
What a fantastic explore! I think the machine in the first pic is a grinder (for sharpening knives etc), but I could be wrong so don't quote me! And a flat iron! Amazing stuff. Nice one! :)
 
The 'tin box' made by Veritas-Atmos (3rd picture in second set) is probably a paraffin container for a heater or cooker. The company made paraffin heaters, cookers and lighting. They were well known in the 1920/30s, especially in rural areas with no electricity supply.

As for the 1st photograph in original post: Alfa Laval were well known for manufacture of milking machinery, industrial centrifuges and mixing machinery years ago - They now manufacture all types of processing machinery. I can see where Foxylady got the idea of a sharpening machine of some sort, but the data plate on the machine does not seem to fit that type of use. My guess is that it is related to the dairy side of farming, perhaps part of a cream separator or mixer. Mind you, that three armed thing does look like a holder for a ploughshare. So perhaps the lady's right and it is a sharpening/grinding machine of sorts
 
This is fantastic. Its a real time capsule. This is what I love about exploring, the derelict combined with the historic.

Great to see an Atmos cooker, and of course the valve radio. ANything involving old radio gear is ace in my opinion!

Really great explore that.
 
Totally agree with the above replies, brilliant find and lovely photos ! Many thanks for sharing this ! :mrgreen:
