Aha, so they once sold soft furnishings, curtains and it was a drapery shop. I like the typeface used in the name.

@pincheck - spoiling us!

Some things you'll no doubt recognise

Someone has been tidying up here. Look at the picture with the piano and you'll see marks where dust hasn't settled.

I thought something had bin moved but it could be you're right, Sound Job Dauntless,

French randoms part 25. This fab old house was in Barcus in the Aquitaine region of France on the D24. Obviously been on the market for some time - the 2008 Street View on Google Maps shows it as empty. Shame as it looks like a nice place. A few externals so putting them in here:

A few of them about near me.

This house was in the village of Navarrenx in South-West France. It was quite an historic house as it previously belonged to Henry Lefebvre the marxist philosopher. Despite being a famous house and having a plaque on the wall it was vacant and had been for some time. Had a peek through the shutters but that was about it.

No wonder the house is well secure. If that's some of the contents we see. Nice looking house.

Looked a real treasure trove this place!

This didn't merit a full report but was interesting all the same. It's part of the walled garden at Holkham Hall, Norfolk. The house and estate are well looked after though the massive walled garden has seen better days. They are systematically restoring it but there's still quite a bit that remains in a semi-derelict state, awaiting restoration. These were permanent two heated green-houses. With the rusting pipework and paint-peeling wood thought they were quite photogenic so popping them in here:

I went to visit a site which was sadly demolished and had a housing estate chucked on it - on the way back i saw a very sad old gardening center thats been long derelict - met the owner who confronted me and said "get off my land" lol.
We had a long chat - he invited me in to his house for a nice cup of tea and some cake and chatted for about a hour lol.
Not really worthy of a report but the tea and cake was nice so i owe him this.

Loving the ice cream van Tazong!

 

[flyboys90]

Got to be the last place I would expect to see an ice cream van!

 

[Sam Haltin]

Yep, I like the ice cream van, the word Annette could be changed to Tazong and Mickey's face changed to Taz, and you've got a sideline selling ice creams, if the van still runs though.

Love it when there's some heras to slide under.



Gas holder, I think I've seen some shots of this on this thread, but none from me yet,





Really needs a wide angle lens to be honest, as you can't see the bottom 50% of the holder on my shot.



Currently not in possession of a tripod it's always fun to try to hold your hands still,

 

[flyboys90]

Stunning shots.

 

[SlimJim]

Top quality splore shots, Mr.K.
