Hey folks this is not to do with my recent trip with Cunningplan, I still have a backlog as I am far to busy to post places I did months ago, than right as soon as I do them.
Last year I have the honor to explore this wonderful place, especially before the usual looters got to it, an stole almost everything you see in my photographs! its contents was extremely remarkable an beautiful a real time capsule undisturbed an almost untouched.

Geoffrey moved into the house with his family in 1920, he had three brothers an sisters, Geoffrey was the oldest of the bunch born in 1913, he sadly passed away 3 days after his 100th Christmas in 2013, his mother run the general store in the same town, this is also derelict an been on the forums.
Its possible that Geoffrey himself served in the war, an also was the siren warden for the village.
His life is clearly shown in my pictures, he passed away in his bedroom from what evidence gave this away inside an his house was untouched until last year.
Last year his house was looted of valuables an some where caught in the act, with items moved, kitchen cleaned for a photo an many items stolen. Such a shame.
Luckily his home was then boarded up and secured, an people now watch the place, a guess its a good thing that almost the whole street is watching this place.

These are my shots of last year.

Thats all folks! hope you enjoyed this selection, my latest trip will be when I can! :)
 
I never got around to seeing this one myself it's a shame most of the stuff has gone now. As always, lovely photos and some bits I haven't seen before :)
 
You and your team deserve a lot of credit for the time and effort you put in to finding and documenting these locations. Nice and atmospheric as always.
