You'll soon see why I named this one The Love Shack! I'm not sure whether this place has been posted here before, and seeing as it's on the road I should think someone from the site who frequents the Fens will have seen it!

I think this was originally two cabins that were joined in the middle to make one:

It was easy to gain entry here seeing as one of the doors was wide open when I arrived:

Walking in through the rear door I found myself in a green kitchen area which had a strange looking sink in one corner. At least I think it was a sink. I think this room was more recently used for storage:

There was a taste of the seaside in one corner of the kitchen:

Walking through the kitchen I found the - umm - hallway?

Directly opposite was this small room, which was already set up like this:

And here was my reason for calling it The Love Shack! What dirty dogs have been in here?

Turning around I spotted this old vacuum:

Here are some other rooms:

Looking the other way down the hallway:

Walking into one of the end room, I could see all the straw insulation coming out from the walls:

The room opposite was somewhat cluttered:

Including a paper dated 1967:

Here's a local paper that loved its' freebies:

Heading back outside and into the shed at the rear of the shack, I found these lovely baskets:

Obviously the owners had struggled to quite grasp the idea of baskets and thought they'd just take those too.

Iam liking all your sets so far :)

Thanks very much :) I see you're new here too! Are you going to start posting soon too?

I'm actually going to be heading to the east coast a bit later in the year, so I'm keeping an eye out for posts in that area!
 
You have got off to a good start on the forum, I agree that all your posts have been good. Hope you have more on the way. :)

I do intend to post soon as explained in my intro thread, Iam not too much into the photography side of things more focused on the dereliction and history of places, so prob wont be using a great camera but if I bring the quality of the shots down please feel free to shoot me, going to check out a thread Kela suggested about camera's before making a final decision tho.

I was wondering if those shells could actually be fresh water?

I'm only using a cheap £70 Lumix at the moment as I'm in the same boat - looking to document the places than take breathtaking photographs as I really am not a photographer!

You could be right.. How would I be able to tell?

You are both posting good pics of your explores and writing interesting reports, only move on to more expensive cameras if you want to for your own reasons, Stay Safe
P.S. I think that are. Cockle shells?

Thank you :) it can be a bit nerve-wracking posting photos along side some really talented photographers here!

They may well be! I'm always clueless with shell names lol

Nothing wrong with those pics and a great report.

Thank you!
 
Thanks!
Are you familiar with the site?

i am indeed. i live in the next town over and i pass it quite regularly and will tonight as it happens. for some reason i've never got round to taking my camera down there tho.

there is another one along there which looks like its on the verge of falling apart
