Alfred's House. Jan 14

I visited this house with Badger. We were out for a drive and stumbled across it. I had recently seen a post on here and instantly loved the pictures. To say how excited I was when we found Alfred's house is indescribable. I felt quite welcomed in the house, but Badger was not so comfortable.
This is my first post, but not my first explore. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

This is on the side of the building, underneath a false chimney. Not sure what the initials mean.

Crack on the back wall, not sure how much longer Alfred's House will be safe.

The sitting room. The second room down stairs.

I don't know why, but I love the wall paper. Although I wouldn't want in my own home

I didn't like this picture when I first saw it. It was taken on my phone as my camera battery had gone flat.

There were a few books around. Quite a bit of medication and plenty of empty Whiskey bottles. I can see how Alfred spent his lonely days.

Upstairs in the back bedroom. I didn't want to enter as the floor wasn't very sound. When I first saw this picture I was astounded that I'd captured an Orb, now I understand why Badger didn't feel as comfortable as I did. Is this Alfred or his Mother I wonder?

The more I looked around the small house the more I think Alfred must have felt very alone

Lots of personal but broken belongings

Bags packed with no where to go.

A small pantry, to the side of the living room was full of more whiskey bottles a fridge with it rotten contents and a few saucepans

There are signs of electricity, but no sink/toilet.

Thank you Alfred for letting me view your house, maybe we will meet again.

Great photos the 1st of many well done

I agree, some places seem to welcome you and you feel comfortable while others seem to want you the hell out from the first step inside, I have no idea why that is, for me I have only felt this when nosing around what was someone’s home.
I enjoyed your post, Thanks

I know what you mean Smiler
a place I visited in nowheresville Lincolnshire springs to mind

Nice set Mrs Badger
Thanks for sharing

nice to see this place again, good shots and not much has changed since my visit last year

Very nice first post Mrs B.

Nice post and pictures - it kind of makes me feel grateful for the people that surround me, well captured and narrated!

Cheers

Lovely write up !! Its a very depressing thought that one day we might end up alone - suppose we take everything for granted really !! Thanks for the post !!

Excellent I thought the place had been demolished!

Fantastic first report! I hope you've 'got the bug'!
Thanks for sharing

Nice one Mrs B! Love the wallpaper and the orb!

How often do you guys and gals actually pick up "orbs" on your photos? Sorry to hijack the thread, but curiosity got the better of me. By the way, great photos.

Nice to see Alfred's again. I found this a very emotional explore.
Thanks for sharing!

Pretty much every time you use the on board flash in the dark in a dusty place. Let's not get into orbs here.

Apologies to everyone for causing a stir about the 'Orb'. I am new to all this & didn't mean to start a debate. Admittedly I did not use a flash while taking the picture of the jacket, I was very surprised when I saw the anomaly myself. This is the first time I have ever taken a picture with a 'dust particle' in it and wanted to share it with you all.
Thanks and stay safe while exploring.x

Not your fault! Natural light can do it too, all depends on the angles.

Canny little report there sad to see how you could end up but I enjoyed looking at the pics
