The village store

[Mikeymutt]

Since red mole discovered this place early last year.i went in a week after him with janovitch.it is somewhere I have desperately wanted to go back to.it really is one of my favourite locations.so me and janovitch had a few spares hours so a last minute decision was made to make an early morning revisit.it was nice nothing had changed or gone missing.stuff has been moved for shot taking.the place has deteriorated badly since our last visit.the place really is wonderful.a little time warp.the property consists of two residential dwellings and the shop out front.a true traditional village one.selling general groceries and sweets.also household goods.there is a lot of shoes in here to.i decided to venture in the collapsed sheds to see what I could find.i passed a dead rat with no head.god knows what happened to its head.and out back I found a really old sewing machine and radio..this place really is the place that keeps giving with bits to discover all the time.i am sure I will be going back here again at some point.

Time stands still at the shop.

Absolutely brilliant, I notice a few roof tops through the window, is that house, whats the surrounding village like, is it old ? in my mind I picture it being last of the summer wine outside

I presume the 1 Lira was from the occupation of Southern Italy, going by the date & the fact it's worded in English.

My friend said this was from world war two so yeah I think you are right richard

Out of all the locations on this site, this one always surprises me the most how relatively untouched it still is. I would love to have visited here when it was still open. Brilliantly captured.

It's amazing..nothing has gone missing.no vandalism.and I hope it stays that way for a long time

That place is just a goldmine, as you mentioned that you've just scratched the surface, will you be going back for more? There's a few items I recognized from my days of a little lad.

You should be proud of these images they are fantastic...such a treasure trove.The newspaper headline made me think Voyager has been gone 30 years now...where has the time gone?
