I have been trawling the internet for weeks now, compiling a list of new locations. I had no idea if this cottage would be accessible or if there would be anything inside worth photographing.
What a surprise it was..
we slid through a door that would only just open into a fallen down part of the cottage. A bath and a book shelf full of books still stood on the otherwise completely collapsed upper floors.
Looking up to an opened bedroom door hanging over the collapsed floors, we could see a chest of drawers and so not giving it a second thought, we were climbing and clambering up the collapsed rooms and into John Geoff's bedroom.
Inside were lots of letters and post cards, some of a very personal nature. I had become confused at john also being addressed as Geoff and on finding a very old car insurance certificate and some P60's, it finally became clear that his name was John, but he was called Geoff to friends and family.
John lived with his mother and he worked at home in his workshop fixing broken guitars..
Hope you enjoy and sorry there are lots of pics
The way into the cottage..
Looking out of the bedroom..
