Part Of The Horsepop/Get Off The Tourist Trail Trip
A pure chance find, an one epic day! - New Location!!!
I was starting to give up with looking for something decent, which had not been put anywhere else or anyone had found, until I spotted this beauty lay nestled in some trees, so on route to another location decided to scrap that idea as people had gone before, an people where very alert to us, an we shot back to this place unsure what we would uncover.
Anyway turns out it was a goldmine of old and new, barely any room to swing a cat let alone set up a tripod so picking small bits to photograph in such a small but epic place was a pain, with light fading fast we quickly went room to room, uncovering small items which give an insight into the owner.
One bedroom the floor was broken an sinking inside draws an cabinets untouched before, I opened them up an revealed a tonne of old ten pound notes and one pound notes, pocket watches engraved and tiny thimbles in boxes... right next to all of that old penknifes and old 50ps and 10ps along with a few sixpences in jars.
The next room had everything, a brand new sewing machine, candle holders, an other old lamps an antiques with blue bird tins, also an urn which was empty... lets move to the bedroom, this is where the rifle was found next to the bed with a tonne of domino an darts trophies, hundreds of pictures on the bed an negatives, showing times the old gent was a child to an adult with mans best friend, this place had everything, the kitchen had rats which stayed away and cupboards of food and old cutlery lay coated in cobwebs an dust.
The bathroom not much going on here, just a few unopened shower gels and shampoos, few shavers in the sink thats all really, so back into the bedroom to uncovers some jewellery and some other items of a bygone time.
As I said this place had everything, an we could not find it again, until one of us went back and it turns out its all been emptied and gone everything taken away!!!
As sad as it may seem that all the stuff inside is probably in a skip im rather thankful only 3 of us saw this place, as with many sites it would of been picked apart and ransacked within a week.... I guess more gems are out there, than the tourist sites which become very popular very quickly.
Anyway here is the Gunmans Cottage.
if no one read the above its all gone and empty.
