Somewhere near Leeds, usually
I used to drive by this place every day on my way to work and wonder if anyone lived here, apparently they did. 15 years or so later and they have left so I took the opportunity to satisfy my curiosity whilst I was back in the area. I don't know exactly how long ago they left but I drove by just after Christmas and it was empty then but I don't recall if it was empty the year before. Not a huge amount to see but some cool bits amongst the junk, useless crap and awful 'art' everywhere... Enjoy and of course the rest are on my (under construction) Flickr Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Another case of an old gent dying and the house being left in purgatory within the family perhaps? Sorting out legal stuff after death takes a long time and is a lot of work after all. Dig Mavis with the hairy bikini line :D
 
That's become well overgrown - But thats enough about Mavis.

It looks like its been abandoned a fair while now!
The address on the Hoover literature is now a Poundstretcher!

Brilliant report, thanks for sharing :)
 
Isn't Mavis a doll, doesn't look like anything has nested in her bird box for a while...
I don't think the house has been empty for long, it always looked a shit tip hence wondering if anyone lived there. It has serious subsidence issues with huge cracks along the walls and all of the floors lean in different directions.

I believe they either moved or went back to the states. I think Mavis needs a razor for her birthday. I may rename this Mavis's house...
