Thorndon's House - November 2015

[The_Derp_Lane]

A recent trip down South led me to this place.

Found it with luck, I managed to find my entry easily. Here is an old Victorian House which may have been abandoned in 2005, Unfortunately the magpies and squatters have beaten me to this place, don't think they're here now. There is a complete mystery behind this house, this may have been abandoned because the Wharf kept flooding behind it.

The one photo of the house didn't come out the way I hoped, but this was a nice find and worth stopping off for.

Great find! That really is a little gem! It even has an in-tact toilet which seems to be rare post-copper theft

Good detective work dauntless. Another house of questions. That's a nice little fireplace.

Nicely done. All this place needs is a good clean and paint. The house is in not too bad condition.

I liked the fire surround as well, was it made of cast iron? Nice work Dauntless, Thanks

 

[The_Derp_Lane]

Thanks for the comments everyone. The fire surround looks like it's ether wood or iron? I'll guess it's the second option. :GEEK:

It's cast iron to a well known Registered Design - unfortunately I cannot recall the name of the foundry as the reference book is hidden in the loft.
