fat lads cottage

[Bigdavey2]

ok not a lot of history with little gold mine on the East coast and sadly I did't even get up stairs due to being discovered and ask'd to leave by a neighbour, I explained that I was not a vandal or gypsy and was looking to buy the property which she believed !! she did tell me some history which sounded pretty sad ,the late owner was a man in his late 40's who kept him self to his self living like a recluse since his mother passed away 10 years ago. the neighbour did't even know his real name and the locals just called him fat lad due to his huge frame the cottage had fallen in to bad repair before his mother died and by the looks of things he was living in one room. the only other thing i can say was the smell alone would put any vandals off plus it very discreet location makes this a very safe find I will be heading back later this summer i have left the pics as taken as im still not sure bout processing rules still as some do !! any way enjoy

Hi I've had edit my reply due to concerns from another member regarding thieves checking out the site which I understand I'm sure the cottage would be fine as I only gave east coast as location I've been told today by local contact that the place has been resealed and emptied but I doubt they have totally cleared it I'm going back over that way in may so will pay it a visit once again thanks for looking

Hi all I've been advised to remove my picture of the rubbish room incase of renting thieves just wanted everyone point of view as I agree but it also shows a important part of this very sad place plus I have learned the local authority have been in there this week and started to clear it up for health and safety reasons please let me know all your views on this many thanks

Perhaps I'm being cynical but I suspect everything of value will be on eBay next week, the subtle difference being it will be Council employees (or contractors) selling it and not pikeys.

Really? Just the one photo? Either all or nothing, so I say leave it all. The location seems safe at the moment.

Just one photograph shows that maybe something of real value was in this place, so why advertise the fact? I also suspect that it was the watchful neighbour who instigated the Council clear out - sad really because of all the reports showing messy/trashed interiors, these photographs are the only ones that illustrate the conditions that the poor occupant was actually living in. The other reports mostly illustrate the work of the mindless morons who trashed the places after the habitations were vacated.
