Hazel's House

[jsp77]

At first glance i wasn't sure what to make of it, looking in through the door i could clearly see the roof had given way (photo 1)much more than previous reports. I thought to myself shall i go and have a look and after a few minutes i was in having a look around. What a nightmare to photograph as every shot required re positioning tripod, some legs fully extended and some not, some shots were hand held with additional light as i don't like using the flash. This is the first house/cottage i have been in where it is so jammed packed with years of hoarding and in places level with the windows. But in the end quite enjoyed it, found a few buried treasures too, the unopened 80th birthday present with tag saying it was for Hazel(hence the title) and some athletic trophies. there were 4 in total 3 for the high jump dating 1909, 1910, 1911 and a quarter mile all were 1st places.

This once lovely cottage used to be a post office and i believe it closed sometime in the 70's and turned back in to residential property. Many years ago there was a fire and the lady who lived there was rescued by her neighbour.

[Mikeymutt]

Ahh glad you went in.its a funny place ain't it.and tou found a bit more than I did.great report matr and looking forward to the rest of the reports from your norfolk trip

This is a great find! Those posters are in a great condition. I also experienced tripod problems with soft floors, they don't make it simple do they! Mind you tripod on a metal grid walkway is somewhat more challenging with the legs falling through the gaps.

Thanks for this, great photos.

I enjoyed that, Thanks jsp

Great photos of the place jsp, that ceiling didn't look like it had long left when I went, so I'm not surprised it's collapsed now.

Great spot, thanks for sharing

I thought that this was seriously thrashed but you've managed to find some items that missed the fire. I wonder if the library ever got its book back. I'll pass on the Guinness. Three and a half pence for a packet of Maltesers.

[Brewtal]

Some beautiful shots there. You did well to come away with them after pissing about with the tripod so much. I'm sure we can all relate to that!

Is that a pile of Minidiscs in the one window?

Is that a pile of Minidiscs in the one window?

from what i can remember i believe they were cassette tapes, but i may be wrong.


Thanks for all the other comments, was a bit of a death trap, but ain't they all in one way or another.

How sweet... her whole life there to see. Thank you.

No you are correct, dimensions all check out as cassettes.
