Derelict farm buildings Northumberland

[davel]

First trip out, thinking no way will I find anywhere to document decay. Came across this derelict farm in the middle of nowhere in Northumberland.

You shot some great pics Dave, the engine houses interest me, what were they driving? Nicely done, Welcome to Derelict Places,

Well done for your first post. Pictures are nice and sharp, quite a lot of pictures but they do tell a story.

Welcome to the forum! That's my kinda place, a ruin that makes the imagination go wild. You got some great pics, but I am curious about the chimney stack - any ideas?

Ha! Took me a while but soon recognised this one. The poor place has been systematically raided and is nothing to what it once was.
True story this - I was interested in buying the farm buildings and a portion of land (the mine is separate). Back then they were asking £850k. I asked for the paperwork detailing the sale and after a small amount of site records investigation I walked away - there are no fewer than 11 shafts under the gardens, barns and surrounding field.
Unless those shafts are dealt with, which means possible full demolition of the buildings, then I doubt they'll be able to sell it!

Nice pics btw. You've made it look quite pleasant there. For some reason I always got the feeling that the mine buildings were looking down on the farm in a menacing way..
