Saw this Old Farm from the Norwich Southern Bypass, and thought I would take a Gander. The Farmer had to leave the place apparently as the Company building the Bypass bought his land for Development of the Bypass.
Harford Farm, South Norwich, Norfolk.

Funnily enough Mimble, yes it was! Just how the Sun was coming through a large Barn Door! the place was pretty trashed though, a known Gypsy Target I am told.
Gorgeous! I thought it was maybe rust.
Damn "travellers" eh, they're a bugger!!

I see this as I aproach Norwich from the A140, and yes the unwashed hoards have made a real shitbox of the place. They torched it as a leaving gesture a couple of years ago last time their camp was evicted from one of the local fields.
Just glad it wasn't a nice pretty pre victorian farmstead otherwise it would be a real shame, as it is I'm surprised it hasn't been dozed and turned into some farmers hard standing!!
Great pics BShuck, keep em coming!!

Yep thats the one N.B. I expect it never was anything special but I just liked it a lot. Quite peaceful and loads of Rabbits YUM!
i think i went to an illegal rave at this site about 3 or 4 years ago when there was pikeys living there. there used to be about 30 of them old empty portacabins about if i remember rightly. shame that they felt it necessary to torch the place after they got evicted 
case of if we cant have it then u cant either nice report tho shuck

Yeah I heard something along the same lines.
just a faint memory of my time as a dirty norfolk raver
i think its called markshall farm from the name of the road its on tho.
I want too sure! about the Proper name if Im Honest so I knew it was near Harford!
I guess so then!
forget all that. they changed the roads when the bypass was put in. apologies.
All I know is that The Farmer was subject to a Compulsory Buyout. Then the Pikeys decided to torch the Farm when they were told to leave a site which was on one of the Adjacent fields.
Ah ha so you made it to Harford Bridge farm - bloody hell what a state inside
Gutted - similar to the guest house that once stood beside Tesco at HB.

Which coincidentally was the setting of one of my worst nightmares!!
Basically me exploring the inside, pulling back a large rug covering a trapdoor to a celler full of rotting corpses pilled on top of each other under a load of old mattresses!!
Must have had too much suger that day....
