Mockingbird Visits The Train Enthusiast Home

So hopefully this place does better than my last report, visited here about a day after I went to Wales for the second time, yeah I dont really hang about, its obvious to me whoever lived here controlled maybe a signal box? or the track? as beside it has a running train track, while inside a train passed, which sucked as I wish I caught it outside, anyway at the time of my visit the place stunk so bad it was starting to make me feel so sick, the fish-tanks gave off an odor much beyond anything I have ever smelt before, it lingered after I got home an had a shower an washed my clothes really heavy smell that I kept smelling all night, it seems maybe the last owners died inside here? or something similar I wont press on with anymore details, but I will say I have developed a real hatred for bugs, flies and worst of all maggots especially when they land on your hand...

Anyway the place is fairly packed with lots of items to scan through, an I made the most of my visit here, I had a main reason why I wanted to see this place, for the old photographs that remained, I found them exceptionally beautiful!!!

At first I could not hack the smell after 15mins or so in, I had to go outside so I made my way round the back that's where I discovered a push bike one that was in the pictures in the shed, along with a sign saying "NO EGGS" so maybe the owners sold farm produce on the outside of their home, sadly I only got a mobile shot of the female push bike so wont include it, anyway going off course its a pleasant explore just take a nose peg if not expect the place to smell vile! :sick:

I have taken shots slightly different than the regular shots from here, so hopefully something different to look at and of course pic heavy ;)

Wouldn't know mate but it had maggots in when I went, that smell is bad.
I think I went a week or so after you, not long after I had got back from Wales, so not much had changed, probably in a worse state now, cheers for the feedback mate, glad you like it.
 
Excellent stuff mate..This is still on my list to do..better take a peg for my nose lol
 
Lovely old sepia photos there & maggots are clean it's the bed bugs, fleas, lice and ticks you have to watch out for! The doctor looked at me really weird when I asked for a Lyme's disease test.

Well aware of bugs an stuff, its just the maggots fell and when ur not expecting it, certain makes you step back abit, cheers mate
 
Awesome as always. Love the colours in the first shot alot, but the winner for me is that narrow corridor :) Also, i like the binoular shot. Top report mate
 
Really enjoyed this one, thanks for putting up with the smell !!! the photos at the end are a nice touch... I think seeing pics of the former residents reminds you to be respectful, thanks again
