Been away for a while, but the new year brought me back with a bang. been lurking in the urbex shadows, watching, waiting, until the right site came up again, and then it did...

I am aware that it has been done a lot recently, but after finding the location through clues given on a post on another forum which i wont name, but lets call it '14 Nights Earlier', i had to go and take a look at 'Stitchers cottage'.

I explored this one with a non-forum member, it was her first explore, and i dare say not her last. We crept through long, ice laden grass to the entrance, trying not to wake any of the surrounding neighbors. After a 2 hour drive and leg cramp, this was not easy.

Once inside it was still far to dark to shoot, so we wandered around waiting for the sunrise. I walked upstairs and straight away noticed a light on in one of the bedrooms! To say this unnerved me was an understatement. Had someone left it on by means of a trap, should i turn it off in case it drew attention to us? Then the thought hit me, what if this was not a derelict site, but some cruel joke? I crept to the crack between the door and the door frame, and looked through the crack, half expecting to see someone laying on the bed. Thankfully there was no-one there, but i still couldn't relax, as i wondered as to the reasons for the light being on.

This place is great, but i suspect it will be trashed or looted shortly, so i am glad to have seen it when i did.

Enjoy...

I'd bet it's changed even more now!, took me a while to get the pics up. Wanted to go back and shoot it on my film camera to, but think it might be tad far for that risk
 
Lush mate, glad to see you're out n about again :) I love the tea cup ones and the treadle table's beautiful... don't see many of them any more
 
Ooooo! Now that's nice.

I bet the light weirded you out big time! We did a place once and found the lights on in the cellar, washed pots on the drainer, fresh linen in the closets, and then the bl**dy phone started ringing! Strange how sometimes these abandoned places just don't get "shut down". When I was 14 we used to hang around in a former TB sanatorium and the telephones there still worked even though most of the roof lead was stripped and the place was awash with water!

That wasn't Malvernbury was it? The cellar lights were still on, and the phones were ringing on us in there too! :confused:

yeah it sure did freak me out, other than that it was fine, but t meant i couldn't really relax. there has been so much tourism in this place lately, so i wouldn't be surprised if someone had left it on and forgotten.
 
That's gorgeous!!!
The sewing machine photo and the bed, as if someone has just left it are my faves!!

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing!
